Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have already hosted some couchsurfers in Istanbul and this experience gave me a chance to get to know different cultures and life styles.
I all believe that without getting in touch with local people and culture, one isn't considered to have travelled that country enough.
That's why i am on couchsurfing!
