Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can be a good companion, although sometimes invisible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To travel and let other people travel cheaply at the beginning.

Surfed my first couch in Hokkaido, Japan in 2007. Then hosted 20+ people in an apartment shared with 2 friends after going home. Surfed another 30+ couches in the following year of 2009-2010 travelling and wwoofing around Japan, US, UK and France. Felt really lucky and grateful to meet people I hosted in their country of origin.
