Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

some of my life's most amazing conversations have happened while talking with people i had just met. couchsurfing is like a hostel lobby full of nice people, but extended to the whole world! crazy! so i want to keep having these types of conversations.

since my parent's house, i've never lived anywhere with a couch or where many people travel to, but one day i would like to host surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've only surfed in one city - rotterdam, in the netherlands. i met up with hosts tessa and tijmen because the national were playing for the cross linx festival. they were super friendly and amazing hosts - i had such a great time but unfortunately scheduling and funds prevented me from surfing elsewhere
