Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been very involved with the exchange student programme at my university for the last five years. That is a great way of getting to know people from different cultures. So I have had quite a few people staying with me and I have also been staying with them in OZ, the US and Europe.

While travelling through Latin America and Iceland we tried CS and we just loved it. It is a great way of meeting new people!

We have hosted people from CS, both up in Umeå, at my parents´ place and in our house, it has always been a great experience.
