PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is only real when shared.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a CS member for almost 10 years now and I never regreted my membership. I met my favorite people in the world through couchsurfing.

I've been surfing couches in so many different places, with so many different people and I know, that without CS my trips wouldn't have been half as fun or exciting.

Despite all the changes on the website and the organisation and whatnot, I still love CS dearly.

Interests

Concerts, travelling, music, books, art, hanging out with friends, drinking coffee and discussing the world. And Giraffes.
