Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both, surf and host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a few cool and very interesting people, and actually am still in touch with them! Surfed just two times yet, once with a friend in Prague. Funny cause we were in a flat full of Mexican people - so we didn't get to know Czech life, but Mexican. Missed a CS-Party there and were locked in a house in the middle of the night.
