Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted several people in Amsterdam, as well as couchsurfed at different places, and I'd like to host more people and to surf couches around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had great fun hosting a number of people in Amsterdam, and even more fun getting to know new places and to meet new people while couchsurfing in Prague, St. Petersburg, Brussels, Kyiv, Almaty and Bishkek!
