CURRENT MISSION

We want to spend our time doing things that actually make a positive difference to someone, somewhere.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have been hosting for about 18 months and have had a great time meeting all the people who've come to stay. We travelled across the USA for six weeks and surfed with people for about half the time we were away. We were constantly amazed by how generous, friendly and generally lovely everyone was!
