Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Supporting people coming and asking about Milan, visiting others around the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started with India, to focus later on Europe and world, as a special guest and guide in Milan.
In these trips someone tried to steal my car, I had to fight in slumps several times, I went to the hospital due to bad hosts, hosts try to steal my passport etc...,. I learnt a lot from negative experience, but most of the time couchsurfing was amazing.
