HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Until 2015 I've done nothing but hosting: unforgettable experiences. It's like travelling, without actually moving. Incredibly convenient, especially if you don't have a dime in your wallet. In summer 2015, I finally started surfing, in my 1700km Rhine bike trip: something like 20-25 people hosted me and there's not one person I will ever forget. I thought the trip was all about myself, since I was travelling alone, but it was actually them, the people who hosted me, who built my trip. Now, in 2018, it's time to hit the road again : one motorbike, 5000 km in Vietnam.
