Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have attended several meetings and gatherings and met some incredible people. CS has led me to great friends! I surfed in Krakow and in Nice and traveled around Poland with a friend I met through weekly meetings. So lucky to be a part of this community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm fairly new to couch surfing but while on my gap year I lived in Poland and traveled France, Italy, and Greece and have met beautiful souls along the way, thanks to Couchsurfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the greatest moments was when I was volunteering with the pre-kinder class at a local public school in Boquete Panama. It was lunchtime and five year old Jose collected his food and took it to a neighboring table giving it to Anmer. He then returned informing me that 'el es pobre'.
Witnessing this kindness gives me restored faith in humanity!
Dining at the Dark Restaurant (PITCH BLACK) in Poznan, Poland, driving a smart car in Santorini, Greece, eating at every Gelato place in Florence, Italy, watching the ball drop in New York City on New Years etc etc!
