Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using CS while studying abroad in South Africa. I surfed around Southern Africa hitting countries like Botswanna, Namibia, Swaziland and Mozambique to name a few. Worked out great. Since then I surfed while I was in China, South East Asia and India and met some lovely people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like I said I've surfed through Southern Africa and Asia and its been great.

I've hosted a few times when I could.

Now I'm in China and I want to give back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first thing I wrote in this box was from a trip in Mozambique from 3 years ago about ants carrying a dead dragonfly up a wall. upon reflection that was pretty damn amazing..
