Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i'm new to this and my couch to share is in Melbourne, while i'm currently in Amsterdam. so i don't have a couch to share as yet but am more than happy to meet up and show people my favourite parts of Amsterdam and other lovely spots in The Netherlands.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

as much as i love wandering new streets in solitude, i also love to learn the secrets of a place from people who love where they live.

i have heard such wonderful stories from CouchSurfers and am excited to see where it will lead...
