Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had my first experience couchsurfing in Paris and loved it.
I used to live with my best friend in San Juan, Puerto Rico and together we hosted 221 couchsurfers in a little bit over 3 years. There was someone in our house almost every night!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Paris for the first time and it was a great experience. It was nothing like "being a tourist" and was able to share really good times with her new friends who hosted her.
