Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting & surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got to know some couch surfers for the very first time on my travels in Latin America in 2008 before i started surfing myself. I surfed in Istanbul, New Zeeland, and Poland. Got to know new flatmates thanks to CS in Amsterdam and Chile and got some couch surfers from Poland, Spain and Lithuania who'd become some of my current best friends. It's a great way to get to know different people and new places.
