Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just discover this website so, by the way, I've done a few couchsurfing experience...But I hope I would have many during my World trip.
When I have some spanish, german, italian et french friends who visit me, I think we did the same thing that couchsurf defends. I 'm not in the habit to sleep in Hotel. When I go abroad,I prefer to met people, to cook them something good and to talk about us, the world...
