Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting open-mind people from over the world.
Learning language is understanding deeply and different perspective.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To have coffee, lunch, dinner when they come to Tokyo to invite my home.

I found out that CS concept is what I expect during my trip. Its a special culture experience to share with CS friends and I appreciated people who created the special method.
When I watched the international news, I feel more close the country to reminds the face who I have seen.

Fortunately, people I met are nice polite well-mannered and felt that I want to meet again.
when I contact from me, hosts are kind to reply to me. I have never had bad experienced so far and hopefully continue in the future.

Next time, I will visit to Europe in near future
Hopefully people happy to meet me...

love to find more
