Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have 100% positive CS experiences in my past journeys. And I am pretty sure my future journeys will be more colorful and interesting with couch surfing.

CS is an amazing platform. Even though we come from different countries, speak different languages, never known each other before, we still trust each other. We give our love and trust to strangers, share our experience and knowledge, share food and house, chat like we met each other years ago.

CS opens my heart and opens my eyes. Shows me a world full of love and peace. When I look back to my past journeys, what makes me touched is not the sight spot, but the moment full of love and kindness my local CS host gave me.

CS makes me understand the world better. Makes my journey memorable and gives me strength to go further in my travel plan. It also helps me to grow up and be more independent.
Gives me courage and almost everything I need in my journey :)
