Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy showing people the alleyways of old Beijing, stopping for tea or cheap beers along the way. When ever I go to a new city I look to meet locals that can show me around and share insight into local life and culture (i.e. good food, and local dives).
