I am on Couchsurfing because I think that is a very good opportunity to get to know new people and culture directly from the people of the country. Also it is helpful to stay with people from that country so they could maybe help you or show you places whose are not so much touristic. :)

Traveling, especially the fact that I left my home country after high school for 6 month to south america and I had only just the basic knowledge in spanish. It was a very big experience for me and showed me that I love traveling :)
