Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing is a wonderful way to see new cultures and  to experience new perspectives on life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience happened in the beautiful desert country of Abu Dhabi.  My host, Dale is well known in the couchsurfing community and so I was so blessed to stay with him.  He was willing to introduce me to other fascinating couchsurfers in the area and even took me to the tallest building in the world in Dubai!  It truly was an amazing experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
