Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

couchsurfing has been my ticket around the world. many of the best travel experiences of my life have come through or as a result of this amazing site. i have hosted a few times (hope for more!) and have surfed in many different countries across europe and asia. (hope for more of that, too!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

the best thing that couchsurfing has provided is the opportunities to meet amazing people and have profound experiences. staying with a surfer in his family's ger (round house/tent aka yurt) in mongolia was a hugely life-changing experience. couchsurfing consistently reassures me that humanity is generally loving and good.
