Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found flatmates in Paris through couchsurfing and met some cool people off the site. I would like to couchsurf in the future I host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met previous flatmates through couchsurfing but I have never couch surfed properly however I used a similar site called help exchange (www.helpx.net) which is kind of like wwoofing except it's not limited to organic farms. From that I found a nice french family who let me stay in their beautiful home in the south of france and eat the most amazing french food in return for working at their chambre d'hote being an au pair to their 3 year old.
