Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My current landlord doesn't allow me to host couchsurfers, but I always love hanging out with fellow world travelers when possible. I try to stay with couchsurfing hosts when I travel myself.

I'm on couchsurfing because I believe that it's better to be a traveler than a tourist, and you get a much richer cultural experience by staying with a local and learning from them rather than staying in a hotel. Also, I like to make new friends all over the world!

Interests

I'm really into rock climbing so finding people in the destinations I'm traveling who are also climbers would be really fun!
