Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

every travelers I met all recommended CouchSurfing to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Amsterdam last July, a very nice man Robbert hosted me, it was a very impressive and great beginning.

I'll never forget the day I crashed into Yasser's place when I missed the train to Barcelona in Zurich with a upset mood. Then I ran into a Starbuck near the train station, login on Couchsurfing and then found Yasser to host me within just couple minutes!! It was like a miracle! People are nice, even though you thought they're stranger to you,but if you open your heart, you'll receive more and more surprises and happiness.
