Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled with a friend who already was an early day couchsurfer and it was not difficult to convince me to join as well. Couchsurfing seems to be just what I had been looking for. A way to travel, that allows you to take deeper view into the country you are travelling. Hotel rooms look the same all around the world, people's homes don't. It is a great way to get in touch with locals, make friends and restore the sometimes shattered faith in humanity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few days of couch surfing in China,

A one week couch surfing trip to Latvia,

A one week couch surfing trip to Ukraine,

A one week couch surfing trip to Istanbul,

A two-week-couchsurfing-trip in Russia:

All of them were great! I met really warm hearted, kind, outgoing and very smart people. I learned more about the places I went than I could have in any other way, considering the short amount of time I spent there.

Interests

Observe, listen and try to understand. Experience the other. Go beyond boundaries.
