Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some rad surfers in Vancouver but can't host at home unfortunately.I couchsurfed for the first time in Montreal and found that my hosts were already part of my greater community, which was amazing.Through this site I met fantastic and radical people in Iceland, stayed in the oldest town in Denmark, was hosted by a lovely fellow in Berlin, and attended a couchsurfing gathering there too.I couchsurfed through friends of friends along the way as well, and met the most wonderful and generous people I could have hoped for.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rosia Montana, Romania- An area that is in great danger of being completely destroyed by a mining project that violates human rights and EU/International law as well as violating nature in an extreme way.
The most beautiful place I have ever been (camped on a mountain plateau for ten days) inhabited by some very inspiring people who are fighting hard for their livelihoods. Also inhabited by lots of lovely cows and sheep and other wildlife.
