Why I’m on Couchsurfing

it's not just an affordable way to stay somewhere, it's an incredibly social and rewarding way to experience more when you're away from home. why go elsewhere when you can stay with amazing people who know the city, and can give you a far better insight into local culture? brilliant community full of kind, likeminded people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walked across france without any money for seven weeks with a friend. i lost track of all the people who gave us food, lifts, meals, and even let us stay with them. there were times where we couldn't even speak in english with each other, out brains were so full of french.
