Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe traveling places and meeting new people can be a very fast and efficient way to learn new things. You observe new traits and among all the differences in cultures, you also see the similarities. It amazes me how despite everything we are still all the same, as people. Couchsurfing is a forum that wonderfully bring together people in this sharing of paths and that brings me here.
