Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've met some amazing people through CS, and are thrilled to have made wonderful friends along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Too many wonderful things to write down in such a little space.
Alejandro was a joy to host, and made us very appreciative of CouchSurfing. It was interesting to hear about his travels and his life in Mexico City. He is a wonderful cook! Meeting a complete stranger who became our friend was the best part. It is so cool that our daughters are the same age and after so many years we still keep in touch.

Rachel showed us a part of Zürich that we weren't familiar with and Erik still enjoys 'Where's my Teddy' book immensely.

Meeting Edwin, Silvia, and Martin has shown us what it can be like to have such warm-hearted hosts. It made our holiday in Vienna so extraordinary, and we can only highly recommend it for others. It was nice to have another child for Erik to play with, and it is interesting to hear about what it is like for natives in their own city. It certainly goes beyond the people in Mozart costumes. We liked learning about these places that you can not easily find as a tourist.

Cecile and Bienvenue showed us how easy it looks traveling as a family of 6. They really helped out and were so positive. Like rays of sunlight.

Ane and Matteo had a great sense of humor and were very flexible. They were well prepared for their little girl and had interesting stories to tell.
