Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love couchsurfing because of the idea to meet people you haven't known before and because I think couchsurfing experiences create more intensive travel memories than "normal" nights, for example in a hotel.
I cannot host in SF because my rental lease doesn't allow it but I'll be happy to meet up and discover the city!
