Hello I'm Matthew Petek !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Both of my older sisters have used couchsurfing to travel which inspired me to do so as well. After working on the oil rigs I quit my job and bought a one way ticket to Europe where I spent the next 13 months. It truly amazed me how kind and generous my hosts, as well as people I met along the way, were to me as they opened the door to their homes, offered me food, and included me in local experiences. I love the whole aspect of couchsurfing!!!
