Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't participated much recently, I have been using AirBnB more, but I am still curious about what couch surfing has to offer and how it is different.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was in Manila, Philippines where I met Ian. We had an amazing day touring around the city and eating Middle Eastern food.
I was also hosted in Istanbul, Turkey and it was a wonderful experience. Ali helped me get oriented and even shared his second home in Bodrum with a friend and me.
