我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted qite a few couchsurfers, and each one of them was really great. I've traveled through CS with several friends, and we've always met the most amazing people. The project is such a great way to meet friendly people and really get a local feel for the places you visit. I still keep in contact with many of the friends I've made through this site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed my way through Hawaii and New Zealand. We've also had some amazing people stay with us from British Columbia, NYC, and other various parts of New England. Never have we had a bad experience.

教，学，和分享

I can share my experiences and try to show that not all Americans are self-absorbed, fast-paced, or (insert any other negative American stereotype). I want to learn all about other people's lives, cultures, faiths, geography, new hobbies, new languages, new instruments, gah... there's so much to learn! I can also do my best to teach kindess, understanding, a better understanding of my faith, English, and some Spanish.
