Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host (even though no one has stayed at our place yet) and surf the couches of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had our very first couch surfing experience in Baku in Azerbaijan, and it was fabolous. Definitely not the last time we will travel like this. After a second couch surfing experience in Doha, Qatar, we know that It's a much better way to experience the countries that we go to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

(Martin) Sleeping on a roof top in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan.

Walking around in the center of Sana'a in Yemen feeling like I'm in some kind of a movie.

Feeling quite alone, being one of the very last (if not the last) tourist in Baghdad, Iraq just before the start of the war in 2003.

Partying in Amazing Beirut, Lebanon.

See the magnificent Silk Route cities in Uzbekistan.
