Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell everyone I talk to about how inspired and motivated this network has made me. I share and encourage everyone I come across to at least check out this website.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did my first housing swap in July 2009. I was in France, and two girls came and stayed in my place for almost one month..It was an awesome experience! I also Couchsurfed throughout other parts of France, while I was there and met so many wonderful new friends! This experience has definately changed my life in a very positive way!

I've also hosted many surfers and was able to couchsurf in Hawaii!

Teach, Learn, Share

Be personal when you host or surf....that is key.. connect through emails on a level that you will be able to connect on when you spend time together. Be open and only do it to truly take in what one has to offer. Never drop your bags and go....thats not what its about...stay in a hostel if that is your mission. It makes me sad to hear this happens to lovely people, when they open their home and culture and their time for you.
