Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am down to host anyone who wants to be in the Ngaoundere area. I live in Beka Hossere a suburb of Ngaondere, it is only 5k from the city so it is very easy to get to town. Only thing is I don't have any water, so you have to be fine with bucket baths and latrines. My latrine is as nice as they come though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A lot. Done multiple road trips in America where I've done couchsurfing and have met a good amount of couchsurfers in Europe and Asia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really believe you can learn something from everyone if you keep an open mind and try not to judge. And reversely anyone can be a teacher.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to show people around the Ngaoundere area! I actually live in Beka Hossere, a suburb of Ngaoundere, but it is only a five minute moot taxi ride.
