Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Solo enthusiast craving for stories- I need stories! Who else can tell better traveller tales than travellers themselves?

Couchsurfing is a word that keeps appearing in my head but have never gotten done. I feel that it will enhance my travels as meeting new people (and eating) is the epitome of awesomeness in my trips.

There's a tendency of me imagining that I am surfing on a couch, riding the waves with popcorn in hand and a giant screen hovering in the skies; not reality-yet.
