Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was in Central America I was lucky to stay with many couch surfers. They shared their friends, homes (even a yacht) and lives with me and they are people I will always remember this is why I prefer this to hostels or Airbnb.

I have also had couch surfers to stay when I have had a house so I can give back to the community.
