Friendship is about addition, not subtraction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Bangkok in May 2013 and met a Filipino friend who is now fluent in Thai. So wherever we go, he speaks Thai and local thinks he is local as well and let us go inside the museums for FREE!! We probably saved a couple of hundred bahts for having a day only spent seeing different Buddhas in Bangkok.
