Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a strong feeling about creating and revitalizing communities... since Im an architect I usually do it in a "formal" way, I think CS is a great project that complements my passions in life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a fantastic first experience in Prague, Zdenek is this etheric soul, who makes traveling a great experience...
Also had the chance to have dinner a Rolf´s home, great to help out in the kitchen and enjoy learning new recepies.... Apples there are great!!!!
