WHY I'M ON COUCHSURFING I think that the concept of CS is brilliant. I think that a good way to get to know a country is through its people. For me seeing the life of normal people is interesting and I think CS fits this purpose perfectly. For me it's all about cultural exchange and meeting new people, rather than just free accommodation. HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING When living in Finland or another country, I try to host whenever I have time. Also, go out with my guests and showing them the city. When traveling, I try to be a good guest. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I joined CS in 2009 and have used it more or less when traveling. I've surfed more than hosted.
