Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am living in Istanbul/Bosphorus/Emirgan right now. i am no longer in izmir.I participated to CS because here people can create spontaneous events, sharing good moments and teach each other new things. Because i like the situation "carpe diem" its very suitable for me. I generally hosted people, used it only one time to be a guest. I like to host more people. Also, we shared lots of things with Erasmus students who come to study in İzmir EÜ, DEÜ And Aydın ADÜ.
