Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted a few travelers independently of couch surfing over the years until a German friend introduced me and CS. I have stayed at a number of places around South America in 2009 but now am back on the CS scene.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I always enjoy meeting new people on the road. Couch surfing has showed me a great way that locals can stay in touch with the traveling mindset in their own town. I have really enjoyed the personal touch that couch surfing gives. It has taken me to places I would never have ventured otherwise, and brings people to me that I may never had met.
