Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

host, surf, share, learn & party

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have hitch hiked in taiwan, slept at a parking lot in japan, played a game of saying hello to as many people as we can in a day counting the number of friendly replies we get in thailand and pretended to be foreigners in boracay ("no engrish!" for kicks).

as a host, we have shared our guest room with friends from faroe islands (a little country near denmark), germany and the netherlands. if you're not creepy, we can let you stay for a week or two.

meeting other people who crave adventure would be great! so, drop us a line if you need a tour guide or if you are just plain bored.]]
