Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I love to travel and meet new people. I prefer to stay in the community rather then a hotel so that I can have first hand experience of the community and the culture. I like to travel off the beaten path, and really learn about the culture and community outside of "tourist" attractions. I also like to build relationships and make life long friendships around the world! I have had two successful couchsurfing experiences (one unsuccessful which lead to us not staying with the host, but thats another story for another day...lol) and have truly gained lifelong friendship. I mean really, I talk to each of them about once a week!
