Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travel and Host, whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Its been a long time since I hosted or couchsurfed through the site. I do it all the time with friends and friends of friends and also with new friends I didn't know before. Some years ago I had three great couch surfing experiences in Sicily, Stockholm and Bonn. Now plannig a trip to Scotland and hoping it will be as great as the last three were. As for hosting - I can't wait to do it but for the moment having problems to do it because of my italian land lord and flat mates, they are friendly and open but still not trusting the internet as a place to know people and built up communities. With the time and good experience I'm hoping to change that...
