Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first experience was when I met some couch surfers at a party in Amsterdam. Convinced by their positive experiences I went to the Couchsurfing HQ in Buenos Aires which was fun and a very good way to meet some people to continue travelling with through South America. When I had an appartment in Chile I hosted some of them and now friends from all over the world come to visit me in Amsterdam because I told them how great my city is!
