Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchSurfing experience is in Japan, 2007, while I travelled by bicycle. At that time I could hardly believe that I could easily make friends, stay at their house, and talk until mid-night! After, I continued to meet some couchsurfers in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, China with many unforgettable memories, such as finding their house, cooking competition, wrestling, party, having a lazy afternoon tea, going surfing(not couchsurfing).
