Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Couchsurfing has had an immeasurable impact on my life. I spent most of my 20s as a nomad and explorer, "searching for myself" through seeing the world. Throughout this journey, I can't express how many wonderful, kind, interesting people I met who shared their homes and hearts with me. I became who I am because of them! I see a better world being possible because of them. My best friends have come from this platform.
