Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling, hosting, and sharing. I see Couchsurfing as an revolutionary idea as its give us the possibility to share experiences, perspectives, and time without commercial interest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some great experiences hosting people and getting to know many couchsurfers around the world.

I used to travel extensively but because of a change of jobs, I am now back in Norway. I now enjoy meeting people from across the world in Norway through hosting!
