Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started with Couchsurfing, hoping to meet new people and help fellow travelers on their journey. I am working these days and will not be taking any new trips in the near future. Summer will be the earliest I can get out. I can do some meet ups and show some people around if needed!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have just gotten started with Couchsurfing, but my experience so far has been great. I Couchsurfed through Portugal and it was an amazing experience. I met great, genuine people, and was able to see and do things I wouldn't have done without Couchsurfing.
