COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2009 I was planning to visit London through CS but my friend Sylvie intercept a message posted on facebook.. ending up in an invitation to sleep at Sylvie's aunt place, (ie Marianne). We didn't knew each other at all.. It was amazing how this gathering has been fruitfull for both me and my daughter... and some days after we came back, I thought to all the time I wasted in hotels being alone with my laptop, my remote control, ... when I could have met other people through CS... but it is never too late ;-)
