Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Actually, I am a member of CS since 2009, but in a way I have lost my account so this is my new account. (I am sad for loosing contacts with my friends).

I am here, because I trust people and I believe in the spirit of travellers.

One day (in 2009)I was waiting for the tram at Central Sitation in Rotterdam. I saw a woman who was trying to find her way by looking on a map. She was carrying a big bag at her shoulders - map and a big bag - I just walked to talk to her and tried to help. Actualyy I was new in Rotterdam, too. It had been only for 10 days and I remembered my first day in the city. I introduced myself and that day she (Hanna from finland) stayed at my place. That was the first couching experience of mine :) actually, I have learnt about couchsurfing from her. So ı am here now :))
