Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Attend CouchSurfing events to meet other CouchSurfers. Promote CouchSurfing as a way to meet people, exchange cultural differences and gain a new perspective.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Singapore in August 2013. I attended the Singapore National Day Picnic gathering organized by Devane where got to know the CouchSurfing community.

My first surfing experience was in Penang, Malaysia in December 2013. Drax Loong is an awesome host who made my first experience memorable.

I have yet to have my first hosting experience, but hopefully that can be arranged in 2014!
