Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is an amazing thing- it has helped me to make friends around the world and share my living space and life with many fellow travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I found couchsurfing while searching for a cheap and safe place to stay in Moscow. I ended up meeting the most amazing host(see comments) and surfed across Russia, Mongolia, and China. What a great concept!
