Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently heard about couch surfing from a friend who told me about how he enjoyed interacting with his hosts during an overnight stay.

Believe that CS helps open new perspectives in people who host and surf, which is essential in today's war torn world

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning Languages (This is THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL in the world). It connects individuals in a way you cant imagine.

When visiting new places I make sure I learn atleast the basic words in the Native language. It makes the people feel you want to be a part of them and there is no better feeling than to be accepted by someone you don't know. They automatically warm up to you and make sure you are comfortable and happy.

I love to cook. :D

I love to learn new things, exchange idea and thoughts. Well isn't that how the world works.;)
