Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really enjoy meeting new people, especially from different cultures and backgrounds. I love learning about others and opening my eyes to the world around me. I have met some incredible people through CS, people that have really made me feel a part of their family and that cannot be compared to anything else when traveling.
