Why I’m on Couchsurfing

in the last three years I have made new friends from different countries, all fellows in the international PhD program I pursue. The last couple of times I went abroad for travel and to attend a conference, I was hosted by these friends. I found the experience of walking through a new city with a local friend, seeing it in his/her eyes, allowing him/her to see it in my visitor-for-a-moment eyes, to be more profound and joyful. I would like to make more friends from different corners of the world, walk new streets and have interesting conversations
