Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to see a little more of the world, and always syaing in hostels and hotels etc.. is not always very cheap to say the least. I think the initiative of couch surfing is a very nice concept and a great way to meet new people, and learn from their culture and country in a way you would otherwise not be able to to.

So when i can i try to return the favour.I live in a house where various people live, and where i rent a little appartment, so their is space in our general living room where you could spend a night.
