Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am ashamed to say that although I have had a couchsurfing account since 2009, I have yet to use it. While I was in Ecuador, I met many people along the way that were seasoned couchsurfers, and I decided that I had to use it before my next adventure.
