Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any couch surfing experience at all but I have heard a lot of stories from my friends. I am really keen to give it a go. I have been moving because of traveling and work so I haven't been able to host anyone, but I would love to when I can.
