Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Last summer me and my girlfriend spent a whole month in Europe. During this period we couchsurfed for the first time ever and fell in love with it. At the moment we're discussing about hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met other couchsurfers and crashed on couple of couches.
