Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have met some couch surfer in my hometown chengdu. i like to show them around. I find its very interesting to see the same city through different eyes.and exchange ideas with people who have various culture backgrounds. I find I also learn new things from people I met on road. Sometimes its really cool, and I appreciate those people who opened a new window for another world to me.
Plus,I have been also lucky hosted by really cool friends in Thailand, Macau, Taiwan. A lot good memories which we can share if we meet up!
