Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Several reasons...
In honor of our 21 year old daughter to support couch surfing and as thanks for those who have given her a couch and more on her recent international travels.

Interested in learning about other places/cultures. Enjoy connecting with people from other places.

I had an amazing experience in 2010 when my daughter and I visited a friend in Marseille who was living in a Couch-surfing friendly co-op. Most memorable were cooking together, long dinners with international travelers /couch-surfers dropping in, trying to determine best language to include everyone in dinner conversation, and commonly ending in a basic game of charades and lots of laughter.

A great experience hosting a French student for 2 weeks that resulted in subsequent exchanges in US and France.
