Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One important part of my culture is being a welcoming person and to welcome people well in one's own house; and I love that.

During my travels in Japan, I used to stay in guesthouses because it is an open place to many nationalities and cultures. Staying in a hotel is like staying in a limited 4 walls but a guesthouse was like being open to the world.
Then my friend talked to me about couch-surfing which she had tried and it was another option to getting to know more about people.

I met CSs who either hosted me or showed me around and now that I live alone, I would like to do the same~
