Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted a few times people at our place in Jerusalem. It's always nice and interesting to meet people from abroad.
By now I have never used CS at my trips abroad. During my many bike trips around the world, many times good and generous people let me sleep in theirs places, but it was done not by CS but by a rather simpler method - I merely met people on the way.
