Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveled through Europe and Asia in 2013, meeting people through couch surfing groups, have met a couple of people who I am now exchanging languages with- teaching a French psychologist professor English and she's teaching me French! Found out about a weekly cafe Polyglott meeting through Couchsurfing- met so many people there and met some cool locals who are now my friends through Couchsurfing :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing, not only surfing couches but also the people you meet through the couch surfing groups! People are helpful when you have a request. When I arrived in Dijon, France I didn't really know anyone so I did a call out and now have 7 friends in Dijon through Couchsurfing!!
