Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I choose my hosts extremely carefully, mostly for my own benefit because I love to stay with people I know I will have something in common with but also because I believe in the TRUE movement of the couchsurfing community

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE COUCH SURFING! It has opened up such an amazing way to see the world for me and I really thank all the fantastic hosts to have had me they've all made my experiences as authentic and adventurous as possible and beyond
