Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people. I really like the Couchsurfing-community and I hope to get many more experiences in it. So far I have been happy to cross paths with all the interesting people I have have met through Couchsurfing . When staying with locals I feel like I learn about cultures and places in a more authentic way. I also really like hosting people, and this way meet individuals from various places.
