Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Joined in July 2012. Mainly hosting. I rarely accept last minute requests. Usually I accept 2 couchsurfers per month so if you want to have a chance to be hosted by me please send me your request 2-6 weeks in advance. I do accept "first time" couchsurfers but I may ask you some questions before I accept you. My home is not a hotel and I accept only the travellers who understand the Couchsurfing philosophy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have hosted approximately 60 people from 23 countries. Some of them came twice or even three times. All of them were fantastic! I couchsurfed only once (USA) and it was the best experience I had ever imagined!

Interests
