Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A non-official couch surfing experience: when I was in Paris with some friends, we asked a lady for directions. Instead of directions, she offered the key to her apartment and a place to crash for two nights. A wonderful bit of luck for us, and a great experience too.
