Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

---Old Info---
Surfed and hosted a few times. And am always up to meet and show people around town - especially some non touristy and out of the way things. Also give out tips on places to visit in cities I have been.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What can we say about Couchsurfing :) We even met each other because of it. It is simply amazing and a great way to travel, meet people and understand life in different places of different people.

With Couchsurfing, you never travel alone. We have found CSer's in some of the most unlikely places and have met a lot of good people through CS, some of whom are very good friends now. And it has helped made our travels more memorable :)

3 cheers for CouchSurfing.
