我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a lot of couch surfers on my trip to Tokyo, and they immediately felt like family. There is a shared aura amongst travelers, we resonate on the same wavelengths, have sensitivity and seek adventure and passion in the same way. I've shared lots of memories, laughs and explored many places, one by one, friends and friends of friends. I'm a big networker and everywhere I go, my passion is to hear your story and also to inspire others with my own. I've always grown up with a multicultural environment and have led many communities online and in person with people all over the world. In many instances, it would seem like a miracle to have people of such diversity and varied backgrounds being in one place at the same time. I remember on my first day in Tokyo, there were already seven people from seven different countries who fast became friends that I still keep in touch with today. In HK, I joined a huge CS gathering and picnic event of perhaps almost a hundred people. We kept in touch and and CS is definitely one of the best places to meet awesome friends.
