Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just found out about the couch surfıng concept from a frıend. However, on recent hıtchiking trips through various European countries i've been lucky enough to have people lend me their couch. Most of these instances have been spur of the moment and really helped in an hour of need. I've met so many cool people that when i heard about couch surfing i couldn't resist.

Oh and once lived in a small Tanzanian village

Teach, Learn, Share

A bit of Kiswahili or Kimeru for those who are interested

All i want to now about people who surf my couch is one interesting fact about their place of origin, a joke (quality optional), whether they snore...and if so, how loudly!
