Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I begun to participate when I decided to live in Edinburgh for a year. I think it's one of the best ways to know local and foreign people when you are travelling, make you the things easy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been in CS for over a year and a half and all my experiences have been amazing. Inside the Edinburgh group I found really wonderful people that showed me another way to live my life. Afterwards, I travelled around Europe and I was hosted by nice hosts who took care of me and helped me in everything. So, what else do you need to sign in CS???
Never say no to a meeting, always maybe! You have to find time to go!
