Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Read it in the paper, signed up. Shared some stories with couchsurfing friends, but did nothing with it for months. Than decided to give it a try and found out about this family of supercool people and life-experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first experience was a CS-meeting. Which was just a fun party, but I've been to many fun parties. In St. Petersburg I stayed at Janna's place and that was a major value add for my visit at St. Petersburg. and so the story went on and on and I met all these great CS-people.

Interests

Teach, Learn, Share

- Check all the around-the-world flight tickets before your leave for a worldtravel. One example is www.oneworld.com, but all of them change conditions a lot so check all of them before you leave.
- In the Netherlands buses and trains do not get cheaper if you buy your ticket last-minute as for example in Peru or Bolivia. Low budget flight tickets get even more expensive if you buy them last minute.
- Lidl and Aldi are the cheapest supermarkets in the netherlands.
- Watch out for bicycles. They are everywhere on the street (or sidewalk) while your in the netherlands.
- Check www.hitchhikers.org for a cheap/free long-distance lifts.
- Do not buy drugs from the streets in the Netherlands, only buy it from the coffeeshops.
