Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got familiar with The CS-project through a friend who is actually taking part in it quite a lot.
Funny fact: My first CS-experience was in 2009, Naples - Italy. I decided to stay there more than two years. My first CS-friend helped me finding a place to live. I think CS is a wonderfull method to fully immerse yourself in a foreign country and/or society

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The Best Couchsurf Experience I had was my Experience in Naples. I met my actual landlord via the CS-project. I sleeped on his couch for several days and decided not to leave anymore. I stayed for more than two years, and now, 10 years later, still coming back and made great friends there.

In the Baltics I had quite some good CS-encounters.

The last years I was busy working so my travels where a bit downgraded. For the next years I want to participate in CS more and more
