Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing in 2009 before a trip backpacking in Europe. I immediately fell in love with the culture of friendliness and hospitality which is curated by the site. Since the first time someone let me into their home to crash on their couch, I was hooked. People have welcomed myself, my friends, and even my band into their homes with open arms. Whether I have been on trips for business or pleasure, I have always turned to Couchsurfing as a way find real people working and living in their cities, and connect with them and view the new place through their eyes. I try to open up my house to host as much as I can. I love connecting with people of all different backgrounds, and feel lucky to be living in a time where technology has made our world so small. I look forward to meeting you!
