Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

you and i meet at a random point. We sip on tea and raise eye-brows at common coincidences. We laugh from the heart and figure another meeting is in order :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted surfers from Egypt, Venezuela, Colombia, Poland, Thailand, Belgium, USA, New Zealand. I've also made multiple friends through couchsurfing.com, and had some lovely conversations over tea and strolls. Some acquaintances I have met here have turned into solid friendships.
