COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I was hosted by amazing people in Prague, Vienna, Moscow, Sofia, Valencia, Madrid, Granada, Cordoba, Malaga,Rome... I believe it's just the start of my couchsurfing career.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Tried to reach Florida by walk from Alabama and got lost in night somewhere between those two states. Participated in Peace Camp in Jordan, which was 10 day dream. Worked in Canadian Parliament for 2 months, which is really cool for such a goofy as I am :) Trip to Andalucia, .........and so many things more!
Teach, Learn, Share
For me couchsurfing is not about "a cheap place to stay" but about learning people and culture. I think people make a city or town interesting and worth seeing, so I consider cs to be a guide to country's soul.
