Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have a more meaningful travel experience -- meeting locals and learning about what life is like in different countries (not just as a tourist);

To have a richer travel experience -- seeing places that might not make the "top 10" lists for certain cities/countries, but are still very beautiful or educational;

To extend travelling -- a more cost effective way to spend time in multiple destinations!
