My first experience of couchsurfing was in Barcelona on a last minute trip with my best friend. I liked the simple way it was, cooking and talking with our host, having a drink together and getting to know the city through him. It was a great experience of sharing! I think couchsurfing allows a different travelling experience, through meeting people you never thought you would, getting to know their stories, their languages, their cultures, their cities.
