Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being new, I'd like to get involved in CS, starting to get my first CS experience as a surfer, hope to be able / have time to host soon surfers and always ready to share information about my country or previous travel experiences

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS in 2014 as to look for my first CS experience together with a friend, but we actually didn't go anywhere. So in 2016 I decided to give it a chance myself, getting my first CS experiences as a surfer. It were some very nice, possitive, widening and learning experiences.
Before my CS experiences stayed with local people that I met around while traveling.
So very much interested to get some more rather first experiences being a pretty new couch surfer.
