Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to surf whenever I go to new places, both to meet new people and to get a better impression of these places through a local.

I've also got my couch open for surfers coming to town when I'm not travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started surfing late fall 2012. Based on my experiences so far (both surfing and hosting), I simply love the concept of Couchsurfing. It's a great way to get in touch with people you otherwise would never meet. It's as simple as that.
