我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

1) To make more friends from different backgrounds and cultures. I respect and share this diversity with everyone;
2) To better understand a city, get to know its culture and people. I believe staying at hotel helps you little in learning about a city.
3) To save some money for future travel. I am a frequent traveler and I never ask my parents for money. Therefore, I never spend too much on the flight, accommodation, eating and others during my trips. I've been to New York, Chicago, DC, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Raleigh, etc and I controled my budget pretty well.
