Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet local people and really experience their culture.

Through couchsurfing so far I stayed with people in Poland, Finland and the Ukraine, but my passion for unusual ways of travel was triggered may years ago before the age of internet. After I finnished high school a friend and I hitch hiked through western Canada and Alaska for almost 2 months. While this was only intended to be a cheap way to travel at first, meeting all these different people on our journey became an extraordinary experience with many, many memories to treasure.
