我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed now a few times and have really enjoyed it. I've had couchsurfers stay with me when I lived in Copenhagen. Not the same, but have had wwoofers stay with me as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience in Belgium was incredible. It showed me the very best of what couchsurfing can be.
