Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i love traveling, few month ago i was traveling in Iran and i first experienced Couchsurfing. it was the one of the best experience in my life, because beside the cultural sights and places, i met local people and get closer to their everyday life and values. i decided to make Couchsurfing -host and use this community to make my trip more interesting.
