Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches and meet local people from the places that I visit. Surfed couches in Barbados, Santa Catarina (Brazil), Chiang Mai (Thailand).
I'm trying to be more active in the couchsurfing community helping cs's from around the world with local suggestion.
Trying to host and attend the CS events when I can.
