Why I’m on Couchsurfing

last year I was as volunteer on an organic farm 2.5 weeks in the Netherlands, where there were guys from different countries - I like this holiday very much! We worked together, cooked, and had a fun together, as new family...
I am member WWOOF, workaway and new member of Hospitalityclub.
I try to travel abroad one or twice a year, and of cause staying with locals or only meeting help to learn country...
