Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cycling! Gosh I love cycling. Since a few years I'm an avid long distance cyclist. My bike brought me to many places in Europe and I met the most wonderful people on my way.
I'm all new to coach surfing; I usually bring a tent and sleep outdoors. But sometimes it rains and it rains hard and the nights get cold and lonely. Drama aside, meeting locals and sharing thoughts, laughs and drinks really deepens your experience and will enliven your sense of place and time. And finding a dry place to sleep is a warm bonus!
