Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met numerous people who are couch surfers and who exhibit the most interesting characters and ceaseless curiosity. They have shown me that more important than comfort is awareness when travelling, therefore hotels are inferior to hosts who can give someone a much better understanding of how it is to live in a certain country or city and who can tell stories which receptionists cannot. Residents also have a much broader knowledge of what are the best things to do and when is the best time to do them, hence one receives aid which he or she would not have gotten in a hotel. But in the end it is the feel for the particular lifestyle of the area which I get upon staying with a host that inspires me to prefer this way of traveling. It also enables me to interact with people which is crucial for getting to know a city for the population is the most essential part of it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whilst I enjoy having people around me who I can talk to, I don't mind if people have their own business to attend to.

I am trying to prevent any inconveniences caused by me so that hosts don't see me as a burden but rather as a pleasant guest.
