Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfing experience was when I moved to New York. I didn't know anyone in the city and so I decided to go to the couchsurfing meetups where I have met some of my best friends.

Above all, to meet people and make long-lasting friendships and experience the local culture when I travel. I also love its philosophy of getting travelers and locals together all to just chill and have fun!
