Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I've tried out couchsurfing was in Porto in 2009 and still it is one of my best kept memories of Portugal, seriously, no sugarcoating needed :-) I never imagined that strangers can get along so well with each other. So I went on with CS and non of my experiences was disappointing, it was always fantastic to meet interesting people and they encouraged me to travel even more.
