Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I had my first couchsurfing experience when I was living in Australia in 2013 and it was such an incredible experience. Afterwards I have couchsurfed in other places as well and have truly had the most amazing experiences. I think the community is so impactful because everyone on couch surfing truly cares about getting to know new people and different cultures.
