Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I road tripped the American East up to Canada and the South until reaching New Orleans, stayed at various couchsurfer places along the way. In April 2016 I couchsurfed through Iran with a good friend. In 2017 I did a roadtrip through Poland with another good friend and we we were lucky to stay with the most kind-hearted people in Bialystok. Those were wonderful experiences which will always stay with me. Couchsurfing gave me the opportunity to take a look beneath the surface of places which otherwise would have been buried in touristy superficiality. It enabled me to get to know some incredible human beings. Couchsurfing, as cheesy as it sounds, makes the world a better place. My trips certainly reassured me that, as long as there are still people giving up time and space to near strangers, everything is not lost.
