Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for a more cultural and immersive experience from locals in the areas that I am traveling. Lately I have been staying in hostels and Air BnB and I’ve felt that those places have led to a more touristic travel experience rather than an authentic one. I want to make connections all around the world and I felt like couch surfing is the best way to do that.

I am very new to this experience but eager to learn and try and hopefully host in my own space one day!
