HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host and been hosted for nice people, because I believe that's the way things should be, free, for the plaisure of a nice companie, a rich cultural exchange.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was great, my friend and I were hosted by a really special Austrian Family in Vienna, The trip was great and they were the highest point of it.
