我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the philosophy of CS. I hope to give people a good place to stay and a chance to connect more personally wherever I'm living, and hopefully have the same when I'm out traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it. I've had great experiences meeting people through CS. I love gaining a local perspective while traveling. I've also had an opportunity to host a few times and connect with folks and learn about their lives and journeys. It provides a great way to connect with travelers and people outside your daily experience.
