Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time was when a very kind Tajikistan lady whom I had met on a trans Siberian train took me in and shared her home with me. I cannot ever forget how touching the entire experience was and learned the power of trust and kindness from her. This is my heartfelt gratitude for her.
