Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While living in Khartoum, Sudan, I hosted many people. I use couchsurfing to meet people for drinks and meals while traveling. I stayed with a couchsurfer for only one night. Most of the travelers I hosted were wonderful people - fun, lively, adventurous. I like the open attitudes of all the couchsurfers.
