Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Cycling + CouchSurfing for me is the best way to discover new cultures, countries and regions. As a surfer, I tell you that there is no better way to meet true locals than CS. And usually they are great people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During over 10 bike tours I surfed in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Turkey, Romania, Ukraine, Australia, United States. Learned a lot and will remember these people forever because without them I couldn't implement my passion to travel with my bicycle.

Since 2011 I occasionally (change apartment quite often) host people from all over the world: Uruguay, UK, US, Netherlands, Spain, Australia, France, Austria, Russia and most notable - South Africa, he's become a good friend of mine.
