Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, I am new to CS and thus I have neither couch surfed nor hosted anybody before through CS. Yet, for sure I have had this experience with friends and people I already know.

What makes me interested in CS now, apart from the financial advantage as a surfer of course, is that you get to know a local(s) in every place you go, get exposed to their culture more in-depth, and hopefully make a network of friends all over the world that you can meet wherever. Thus, I am willing to host couch surfers from all over the place whether I am in Cairo or in the U.S.
