Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I never had unknown people staying home, next week will be the 1st time ever!
Nevetheless, I often have space for friends or others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first experience, I have never stayed at people's I don't know....
I've heard about CS a year ago and had a look at the site, but a flash of lightning switched the computer off and then I didn't take time to have another look!

I forgot I stayed 2 weeks at an Indian family in Britain when I was 15, on a language trip, then I stayed 3 times with single people when I was working for EF International as a summer job; also spent a yar as an au-Pair et 9 months as a French language assistant in Wales, so finally I had a couple of experiences with people I didn't know at the beginning!
