Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my stay in Copenhagen, we (me and two friends) crossed over to Sweden and stayed with a semi Australian / semi Swedish couple, that one of my friends met through Couchsurfing. It was great, they were great fun (and she was quite insane, which appaerently is not exceptional for Scandinavians from the upper North). Unfortunately, I do not have any contact details on them...

Then I got this account at about 6 months ago and had a great first experience hosting a German. I was impressed and decided to take couchsurfing on in Palestine too -> good experiences!
