Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm definitely a travel addict. For me travelling is not only visiting a city or place. It is indeed a way of living. I am passionate to have full experience of the local culture. I always try to be "like the locals". This is the magic of exploring the world with all the diversity out there. I love to drink local beer and eat local food (one of my favourite parts :D ). I can not think of a better way to understand the culture than meeting locals through CS.
