I´m a mother of four children, two girls and two boys between 26 and 15 years old. I made my first extraordinary wonderful CS experiences in Oz years ago, we just didn't call it couchsurfing. I travelled through Australia in 1997/98 , stayed with some locals and earned money as a fruit picker. The guys where I lived with became part of my family and we are still in close contact- they became the godparents of my oldest daughter. I'm especially into couchsurfing because I appreciate to meet lovely people, like to learn something about other cultures, enjoy to discover new cities and I'm always positive touched over and over again to notice, that there are so many wonderful people all over the world!!!
