Hi there,
I'll keep it brief here, as I think it's much more fun to talk about these things in person. My name is Jasper and I've been on couchsurfing since 2012. Since then I've gone to many meets and hosted many people and in the process met some of my best friends and learned a lot about the world. My job takes me to a different country every couple of years and being part of an international community such as this one makes that even more enjoyable.

I currently live in the city centre of Leeds.

PHILOSOPHY

pensare con il cuore e amare con la testa

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've only hosted, sometimes from the emergency list, as I don't plan far ahead. But perhaps next year I'll do some travelling..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's addictive! I met some of my closest friends in Frankfurt at the CS meetup (we are travelling the west coast this summer together), so I decided to start hosting as well. It's amazing how much you can learn from hearing the stories of people you wouldn't normally meet.
