Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Me and my friend were in Madrid, Spain march 2013. We had taken just the airplane tickets to Madrid and get our backpacks ready. We were there about week and see that our money was short. We have to deside either, to sleep under the sky and eat good, or sleep in hostel and eat nothing in next three days before our flight back to home.
So we find computer and put couchsurfing that we need place right away in next three days. This were very difficult such short notice, but then about 20 request later ONE answers that we are welcome! That feeling to know you get to inside at night. Well we go to host, he was nice 32 yo guy who had to roommates, very nice all of them. We talked, make food for them and get ideas where to travel.

So, big thanks to couchsurfing and of course the host to get us roof so quickly.
This is one of many reasons why i like to offer my couch to someone! :)
