Before joining CS I was also part of Hospitality Club (a very similar website) and have found both HC and CS to be a great way to travel - getting to know local people and cultures, and having much more interesting experiences than staying in hostels! I have also made some wonderful friends through the site, and find it a great way to connect with like-minded people from all around the world :)

Can't pick just one, so here are a few highlights: *Playing sax at Glastonbury festival (and watching the headline set from backstage on the Pyramid Stage) *Travelling around South America for six months *Kayaking in Halong bay, and moped riding in Sapa, in Vietnam *Hang-gliding in Rio *Goat-herding in Catalonia *School trip to Uganda *Ice Swimming in Estonia *White water rafting in Peru *Carnival in Salvador, and travelling by boat down the Amazon, in Brazil *Sailing with Dolphins in Wales *Singing in an open mic (just once, with a tiny audience, but still a big deal for me!) *Being part of Climate Camp, direct action movement for action on climate change, as a student *Being a Students' Union elected officer *Volunteering for a year in Estonia for the first ever World Cleanup Day *Travelling all over Europe as a flight-free digital nomad
