Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couchsurfing.com when I was working on a news story with a colleague about this experiment for our weekend travel supplement. We interviewed two couchsurfers who met as surfers and fell in love and were getting married. I like the concept of hosting unknown people. It not only lets us meet new people but also helps us discover new cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great experience as a surfer in Paris. I am looking forward to host too.
