Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used CS a lot as a surfer, I didn't lived in a touristic place before so I didn't had the chance to host a lot for now, I'll do it soon to "give back what I received" !
When I worked in Valence, I hosted few peoples (some travelers just came to the bar where I was working, so I suggested to them to stay at my place for the night) and my first CS host experience, Felix, a crazy Swiss skater !
And I'm trying to be active with the community, meetings,... !
Sarah is discovering the Couchsurfing !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My previous experiences with CouchSurfing were just awesome… I started in Australia for the first time, then in Hong-Kong and for the biggest CouchSurfing trip, New York ! We spent (with a friend) in this city 3 months just doing CouchSurfing, best experience ever ! :)
I did that again in Brussels, in the Caribbean, and South America… each time I enjoyed it !
I met so many very interesting people with this. It's simply the best way to discover the places with local people, and I like it.
I learn spanish with CS !
