Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and hearing about people's experiences! Sightseeing is great, but sightseeing AND meeting people who really live in the city and experience the life is so much better!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with a friend in Edinborough, and it was a lot of fun! Our host was incredibly nice and she gave us some great recommendations to see the city.

The best traveling experiences I've had have been when I've stayed with people who live in the area and get to know them and what they like to do. In addition to wwoofing, in the past I stayed with a family in Paris, which was an amazing way to learn about French life and get the inside scoop on cool stuff in Paris, and a few summers ago I lived with a family in Mauritius, who were incredibly nice and accommodating!

Also I learned how to make samosas while I was there!
