我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I intend to participate both as a host and a traveler. I am very interested in meeting all the interesting people like those I have met at CS events and also through airbnb.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to couchsurfing, although I have crashed many nights in the homes of my friends around the world.

I am a very active host on airbnb, and I am also a regular traveler on airbnb. I have come to highly value the relationships I have developed with hosts and travelers, and I see couchsurfing as a way to extend these opportunities to meet interesting people who challenge my way of thinking.
