Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I don't have my own place, I didn't host a lot of people for the moment
I host people when I'm home, in my parent's place.
Also as I live in a small village I don't receive a lot of couchrequests ( a pity for you guys :D)
So for the moment in all my travels, I try to do couchsurfing and as people told me in India : " We
are travelling when you're coming to our place, as we can't go so far, it's through you that we are travelling, with your stories, your accent, your habits ect ect... "
Couchsurfing is great for Hosting and Surfing !
Hope to host more and more in the future !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
