Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to let other people on the world know about my culture, experience from living in foreign countries and adventures I have been invlolved in. In exchange I would love to see and hear about different countries' cultures and history. Even if I cannot offer accommodation at this time, as I live in rented accommodation myself, I would love to be a guide to people who come to UK or Czech Republic in person or just by advice and share some tips and tricks...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My unbelievable couching story comes from Switzerland, where I was traveling alone due to a bad luck. With nowhere to stay I was invited to spend the New Year and a few days after in a house in Nyon by group of people which I've met on a ski slope in the afternoon the day before.
I was shocked by them trusting me instantly, because I found very odd to trust people I don't know but their attitude was welcoming and caring. I never experienced anything like this in my life and we are friends ever since. I visited them again 6 months later, this time they knew I am coming and I had a bed prepared! We had a fabulous time together even we couldn't understand each other as they were speaking only french and I speak only english!
