Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I offer my humble experiences of trips reporting about different topics related to human rights and development in different countries and cultures. I eager to listen to each person's story because we all have one and many at the same time. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've experienced a strange feeling while couchsurfing: I love feeling like at home whilst staying in a new place but at the same time I know that this is precisely the time to leave that place and explore what's out there.
