As someone who usually travels solo, I thought couchsurfing would be a great way to meet people and find events at the places I am staying. The same goes for my hometown Berlin. I'd be happy to hang out with travellers coming to Berlin and who would like to get to know the place, so couchsurfing seemed like the best place to start my search. :) Strangely enough, I see that as a chance to get to know my own city, as I am showing it to others.
