我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We enjoy hosting people in our home when we have one and are very excited to meet people through couch surfing. To us, traveling loses its luster pretty quickly when you get stuck in tourist attractions. The real joy of traveling comes from meeting people and understanding your surroundings from local people who are part of community. We like to have a chance to hang out with hosts and surfers but understand when people are busy and need to focus their time on their immediate priorities. in other words we can be both engaging and/or low maintenance guests or hosts depending on the situation.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We are just getting started in couch surfing. But our limited experience hosting and surfing has been great so far.
