Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In China I was highly active as a moderator for the Xiamen CS group - I arranged monthly meetings, weekly hangouts, foodie nights, movie nights, bowling nights, and a pub crawl.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever hosted, but the people I've had have managed to show me my own city in a completely different light.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Enjoyed the hospitality of a nomadic family in outer Mongolia. We all shared whatever food and beverages we had, and talked and laughed well into the night. The head of the family and I hit it off because we were the same age - it's amazing how different people can be, and yet how that world of difference can be bridged in a night.
