ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attend couchsurfing events to meet up with people and would like to discuss the experiences in depth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went with my relative twice to Europe and we had some very good experience with couchsurfing. I recalled my first Europe trip is in a couchsurf host who said that we (several) were talking seven different languages in a kitchen. That surprised me. A CS near Prague, Czech who invited me and my relative to her house where she helped us to find great-3 times grandfather's hut. We eventually found it and it was a neat time to see my ancestor's home :-)
