Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My thought about it in a few sentences...

Couchsurfing gives traveling more value. Talking with and learning from locals is a way to make your trip more sustainable, and I don't mean only in the environmentally way. It can slow down your way of traveling, even during a city trip of only a few nights. Such an experience will help you spend your time and money more thoughtfully, with the lessons of a local in mind.
