Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

/Update/ back after 10 years to see how this community has changed. Might need a minute to re-adjust.

During my traveling I always enjoy meeting locals as I'm much more interested in seeing their favourit place then seeing monuments like every other tourist.
I'd love to give people that same experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my very first travel to Japan in 2010 I stayed with many couchsurfers and really created unforgettable moments. I met amazing people and saw great places because of it.
I also hosted a few travelers when I still lived in Antwerp (also one from who I stayed with in Japan)
