我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I am in limited, university housing, and so am unable to host. However, once I return to Boston and get settled, I would love to welcome people to my home. In the meantime, I can show visiting couchsurfers a bit of Oxford or even just go for tea together :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in France. I was not an official member yet and was accompanying my friend who is a couchsurfing enthusiast. I was so impressed by the kindness of our hosts and the concept of couchsurfing, and so became increasingly interested in joining the community. Couchsurfing: learning about different cultures firsthand and making friends all over the globe--what is there not to love? I would be delighted to meet with more couchsurfers here in Oxford and in my travels!
