Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am travelling with my partner (Jesús) around South East Asia currently and after four months we would like to try to know local people this way, learning about them, knowing new cultures, food, traditional customs, places to visit... I opened the couchsurfing account a few years ago but I never used it. It's the first time we are going to try it!
