我为什么使用Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have used couchsurfing to make several new friends all over the world. I have had wonderful experiences with the people I have stayed with and those that I have just met for a drink. I have loved being exposed to new ideas from lots of cool people, and plan on remaining friends with the couchsurfers I have met for a long time. Each one has helped me become a better person, and I am very grateful for meeting them all.

我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
lived in some Madagascar fishing villages working on coral reef projects; worked in the backcountry in Yellowstone National Park and had several close encounters with grizzly bears; swam in a crater lake on top of a volcano at 4200m in Uganda; trekked through the mountains of Poland tracking wolves; seen the mountain gorillas in Rwanda-- Everything is amazing in its own way!
教学、学习、分享
I can teach a few things about ecology and the environment, about wolves and bears around the world, but mostly I am here to listen and hear what others have to say. I love to learn anything new, as long as someone is willing to have fun teaching me! I would be glad to try to teach anything, even if I have no idea what I am talking about! I believe we all teach and learn something every day, even when we are totally unaware of it.
我能与房东分享的
Unfortunately I cannot host anyone in the next couple months. I will be out of town and can possibly host again starting in February.
