Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had amazing experiences on couchsurfing during my Europe stay and truly inspired by the people I met. So I am more than willing to host now that I am available, by which I could pass the torch in this community.
——————————
The world is a cluster of communities, and the meaning of community is to break the boudaries of existing ones. Being a member of couchsurfing offers me a chance to get exposed to new community and experience different cultures, and in the end, break community into individuals and feel the connections
Couchsurfing for me is a place where I could escape from tourist attractions by connecting to the local people.
Also I could experience different lives easily which I might don't have courage and opportunity to do.
