Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to Couch Surf and also host. I'm also looking to make friends across the globe. I'm happy to meet any travelers who arrive in my region of Korea and show them the sights,sounds and tastes of Korea's 5th largest city Daejeon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first experience Couch Surfing in Kota Belud, Sabah, Borneo. Me and two friends stayed two nights with a Malay family. Couch Surfing allowed us to experience the local culture and visit places where the tour groups go. A very good first experience our hosts were very welcoming and went the extra mile to make our visit more memorable.
