Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I moved to Germany this past July! Growing up my parents used to couchsurf and travel via homestay a lot, because of the way we used to travel I've had lots of meaningful experiences and connections abroad... After a 8 year travel hiatus and now being a young adult in Europe, I'm ready to reconnect with this way of meeting people, exploring places, and practicing mutual aid.
