Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because the person I was supposed to be staying in Paris with is overseas. I had previously heard of the idea and thought it was pretty innovative but never utilized the chance until now as a result of an emergency. In addition, to exchange ides and experiences from a totally different walk of life than myself. I think it's a very valuable experience beyond the accomodation.
