Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a great platform for backpackers to meet new friends and share our different ideas about different topics where we could get inspired and some great ideas will finally emerge. -------------ATTENTION-------------- If you copy and paste a request, then I will never host you. I only host people who read through other's profile, and find similar interests and topics that they want to chat more. 1. Please send request within 14 days before your arrival 2. Don't ask for more than 2 nights for the first visit Otherwise I think you are just someone looking for free hotel. I'm actually airbnbing a room when there's no couchsurfer. -------------------------------------------
