Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've used couchsurfing in various countries, such as India, Israel, and Germany and have had very positive experiences. It is great to know there is such a large and diverse digital community with people willing to host you, show you their hometown, and share experiences, even if you've never met. I'm happy to be a part of this community.
