Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love meeting people, hearing their experiences and sharing ours. You can learn a lot by just chatting to someone ^_^

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had amazing couchsurfing experiences in Athens, and in Vienna. In Athens we did a lot of crazy fun things with our hosts, like drinking straight Vodka next to the Acropolis and travelling to Meteora. Woah! In Vienna - our host introduced us to clubs, free city bikes and told us about all the good places to go to. We also went to a couple of couchsurfing gatherings in Vienna which was great to meet other travellers :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on the edge of a Pinnacle in Meteora awed by the beauty and speechless with fear of falling.

Floating down the river Aare (Bern-Switzerland) on inflatable rings with the Quebecois couple we met in Freiburg.
