HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting people whenever I can

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One time I couchsurfed in Lithuania, and it was one of the coolest experiences that I've ever had. The guy hosted two German friends of mine and me for a weekend and drove us all around Lithuania. The strangest part of the experience was probably sleeping on the steps of the cathedral in the center of Kaunas, the second biggest city in Lithuania. It was a late night at the disco, and I needed a nap before heading home.
