Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
offer a place for people to stay when I was stable, they are all wonderful guests;
met a couple of people on the road for a drink, had wonderful time together; post some discussions about cross cultural communications; even met couch surfers on hash house harriers running; might use couch surfing on the road in the future
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I heard about couch surfing since years, met many traveller who told me that they used it and have a good experience. But I never really think about trying it. The other day suddently I feel why not? I have received a lot of kindness on the road, received invitation and stayed in many stranger's house in pakistan, Iran, Syria, Israel......My recent experience with couch surfers are wonderful!
