Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first CS experience was amazing, being able to travel like a local and meet friends from all over the world is just incredible, extraordinary and mind-blowing!

I have always want to host people but I've been moving a lot, therefore sometimes when people messaged me I'm probably not in town. As I returned to Taiwan, I too want to meet up with Couchsurfers!
