COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:

The best couchsurfing experience I had was in December 2013 at Seoul, South Korea. I stayed with Ashley and her pet cat Oreo for 4 Nights and 4 Days. She's an American English teacher in an elementary school. My flight got delayed so she waited for me until I arrived around 1:00 am at the airport. Since I don't have an itinerary to follow, I went with her at Insadong to meet with her former Korean co-teachers, she toured me at Gyeongbok Palace, we ate dinner in an authentic Korean restaurant and paid for it, attended Jen's bridal shower in Ansan, danced Salsa and partied with her friends. Before I leave, Ashley gave me Korean snacks. So far, it was the best highlight of my couchsurfing experience.
