Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love traveling and, in our opinion, any travel experience only goes to its higher level if you can meet new people and make friends on it. We used to stay a lot in hostels especially to interact, practice languages, share living, but in 2015 we discovered CS and that was awesome (considering that reasons.

CS is all about seeing the world with different eyes, seeing the good side of people, is all about having the chance to give part of you not interested in anything back. The real spirit of CS makes us believe better in the world and it is definitely not an economic experience, but an enriching cultural opportunity!

CS is the best way to get closer to any culture and to have real life experiences while traveling.
