Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING By teaching foreign languages and about foreign cultures; by receiving foreign students home; by taking an active interest in social issues. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have only just joined Couchsurfers, butI regularly host foreign students in Britain who cannot go home for holdidays. My best travelling memories are of being invited into people's homes, from a farmer's family long ago in Turkey, to recent invitations in China.
