PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was in my mid-twenties a lot of people couch surfed in my place and I did some myself when hitchhiking through the USA. Mostly with people who had stayed at my place, sometimes someone would offer you a place to sleep when they saw you walking with a backpack and sometimes unasked in dorms.

Interests

i am interested in traveling to and seeing foreign countries, so far mostly asian.
