Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been a very positive experience for me. I have been able to meet all kinds of new people, see things from a different perspective than the typical traveler/tourist. Not to mention all the great adventures and friends I've made along the way.

I feel that the Couchsurfing Community is one of the greatest things in this world. It provides an incredible opportunity for people to see things from a better perspective while traveling. Also, I think that couchsurfing provides hospitality, which this world could use a lot more of nowadays. This correlates to the kind, happy, amazing people you'll meet along the way. The exchange of meeting new people, sharing culture, place, and language is a great thing that makes the world better and couchsurfing is at the base of it.
