我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've surfed a lot but have not been in a good position to host until now. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've surfed everywhere from Tokyo to Freiburg. The experience of making friends and being generously hosted by locals is infinitely superior to staying in hostels.
