Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a couchsurfer in 2009 in Eastern Europe. I met a lot of people that way and it was a great experience.
When I was doing my field research for my Master's thesis in Bosnia in 2012, I met numerous people thanks to CouchSurfing. They answered my questions, told me about their country and the politics and their experiences. They showed me around and I had a good time with each one of them. That was an amazing experience.
