Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i've been hearing about couchsurfing when i was still in France in 2010 however i totally forgotten it when i got back to the Philippines. i just joined in last 2012 because one of my colleagues reminded me about this. she is also a member of CS

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

it was in September when i experienced to host a member of CS. he came from Ireland. he stayed in my city for like 3 days. unfortunately i wasn't able to host him since my place is not available. however i together with my friends showed to him the city of golden friendship. my 1st time to surf was last may 31 to june 2. I went to Erfurt to join an activity organized by my uni. my friend who's living there can't accommodate me for some personal reasons. THANK GOD there's CS. Andreas from Erfurt hosted me. the experience was impressive. didn't expect that much but he was so nice, generous and cooool. THE BEST.Won't forget my 1st couchsurfing experience with Andy and his flatmates!!

Interests

Learning foreign languages like French, Spanish, and German is one of my interests. I like to cook if i'm not lazy. do some adventurous outdoor activities like rafting, caving, kayaking and even cliff diving. Started to learn snowboarding. ( a bit late at my age since we don't have Snow in the Philippines)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

one of the amazing things i've done so far is cliff diving. it was January of 2010 when our class decided to have some adventurous activity. so we went caving and cliff diving. one of the best experiences i've had ;D

Teach, Learn, Share

CS is a good venue to explore the world, to learn the culture and to observe the practice and tradition of every individual. One way or another, you are also teaching the people you met. CS is indeed a huge school where you can learn a lot of things that you can't learn in a formal school set up.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would life to share how is my culture like, and that includes food :D I can cook traditional Filipino food with my host ;)
