Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some wonderful experiences couchsurfing in New York City in upper Manhattan, and in Paris, France and Dublin, Ireland. Looking forward to many more. I've had the best experiences traveling when couchsurfing , because I was treated so warmly by everyone, and I got to see spots that I wouldn't have found on my own. The human connection is what traveling is all about- building new relationships- much more than just seeing the sights.
