Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

haven't had much experience with couchsurfing but i'm really just interested in connecting with people, sharing experiences and maybe some giggles. I am about to be traveling for a good while, surfing around, being nomadic.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couch surfed through the website, but I have stayed with friends of friends, people that I've never met before in new places. I have met some really amazing people in that way, established strong connections and good friendships. I think its a wonderful opportunity to make connections like this when traveling, so you always feel like you have a home where ever you go!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that anyone willing to share their story has something to offer. Our own experiences are simply reflections to others. We have much to teach, and many lessons to learn from one another.
