Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to help travelers from different countries to find the roof to stay under in Baku, Kuwait, Istanbul and bunch of other places. Also, they bring great stories with them and I love that.
I am more of a host rather than traveler. But this time it is a wild trip with a small back-pack and i have no clue about the countries I am going to. So that is that.
