Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't hosted yet, but surfed quite a lot now in South Amarica and India mostly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at a few people in South America now, and think it is a wonderfull way to travel. Although it isn't the main goal, it certainly is a plus that you can keep the costs low, this way it is easier to go traveling and travel longer. The most important aspect for me is ofcourse to meet local people and get an ´inside view´ you won´t get if you stay in ho(s)tels.
I would realy love to host people in the future too.
