Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host/ meet people who share similar interests or who are open minded.
I like to host people In turn I get to learn about different walks of lives, cultures, people, which I believe is priceless.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

SO far so good. Came across very interesting fun loving travelers, made many friends here. I have been hosting people, even when I am traveling, and met with many interesting guests. I am yet to experience being a guest.
I hope I get a chance to be be someone's guest soon..
