Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

meeting people and being a guest
also try to help in the forum when I can as I can't offer place to sleep at the moment

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

O.K. - after few experiances with some sites of this sort, I can deffinttaly say it's a great thing: you meet locals, you actually see how they're living, share some stories and meals, get some local tips, hung out/travel together, and save some money 'on the way' ;-)
The funny thing is that in small places there aren't so many people in these sites, but staying in hostel is o.k.,(there not so many people and they the place is friendly) but in the big cities there so many couches, that you don't need to stay in a hostel, which is for the better as hostels are just horable and expensive.

Interests

I like reading, swimming, local music, folklore and languages, to wonder around, hiking & outdoors in nature & city as well, or just hang out and do the people watching thing..and the best thing by far - sleeping ;-)
