Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE#

I ended up as all 23 year old man leaving my job and Moving to Albania on a whim. I became active in the local scene helping arrange meets etc. I spent a lot of my team meeting up with tourists and showing them around my city

Ive slept on a couch in Canada for 3 weeks, amazing time. After a slight mix-up with the hostel not existing I kind of ended up couchsurfing with an elderly couple in Montenegro, ended up with home made Rakiya for breakfast and lovely hosts, even if English was limited'

Met Kenneth and Jens in New Orleans. Spent a few days with them then 5 months later they invited me to come stay with them and their families. Then a year later spent a week drinking and chilling out with them :)
