Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I love to explore and understand the local culture, couch-surfing is perfect for that. Travelling is refreshing when we can listen to people from different backgrounds and contexts, and experience new perspectives that help us understand ourselves better and the world in general.

Couchsurfing generates magical moments. A great example are these moments when I met another couchsurfer, Sujin and we explored Capri together, and she recorded a fun video when we were running to catch our boat! :) :
