Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm mostly interested in meeting people on my travels, so having a coffee or something to eat works fine for me. Same for people who want to visit Sweden. I'm glad to meet up and show you around. I have a couch and it's available, but hard to reach by public transport... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Years ago, a friend recommended Couchsurfing. First expercience was in Hiroshima, Japan so far, where Yukari and Ayako showed me around. A good start! Since then I have had several more meet ups around the world
