Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First for Paul was 1995 in El Salvador. I was passing through the small town of Osicala (see if you can find it on a map) and someone invited me to their home for dinner and then offered me a hammock for the night.

Since then have stayed in various countries in people's homes and it has always been a great experience.

We joined couch surfing so we could return the favor and host some people at home.
