Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel by myself and I've found that the experience is so much more rewarding when I don't have to worry about travel companions' reservations. Staying in hotels and hostels is great, but the atmosphere is always hit or miss.

The short and simple:

*more interesting people (travel-minded people always are)
*homes are more interesting than hotels
*why visit a place that has no kitchen (I will cook for you)
