Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting as many persons as possible, and surfing couches when I am travelling...and travelling is one of my passions in life!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted several people in my couch and it was a pleasure to have them all in my house. The most exotic were a French couple with a child, travelling (and working along) by bike around Europe for a couple of years, and a guy travelling from Hong Kong to Portugal... by car!! So interesting to hear about their experiences.

Surfed several couches, in Denmark, Germany, Brazil and Argentina...all of them were amazing experiences!!!

Looking forward for the next time...
