Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For me Couchsurfing is an amazing tool to discover the world and its people. It gived a special meaning to all of my trip and helped me to get closer to the real things, things that really matter and to get back to simple values.

I spent 6 month in Granada (Spain) as an Erasmus in 2007-2008, and had a few people passing by my place for a few days. that's been great to get to know people from USA, France, Taiwan, Germany, and show them the town wheni had time.
I couchsurfed in Canada in june and july 2008. Couchsurfing made my trip unforgettable. I met great people along the way, and learn about the culture of Quebec. I can't wait for the next trip.
And always keep in mind : "celui qui voyage sans rencontrer l'autre ne voyage pas, il se déplace"
I also traveled 4 months and an half in South America. Thanks to CS, on the road, I made great friends who helped me to have a better understanding of our world and their reality.
