Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Long before being an English teacher, I've always been interested in foreign languages, world geography, local dishes, human stories, traditional clothes, international music.
I've been working for ten months at school and travelling for two months in summer.
CS is absolutely fantastic way to make difference for myself and other travellers and get away from daily routine.
