Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I like to meet local people
and I prefer a non-commercial setting
When I was younger I used to hitch hike a lot.
I slept on people's couches and under their kitchen tables
I got to know a lot of people and many of them are still my friends today
couchsurfing is a natural thing to do
