Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had my first couchsurfing experience on a trip to Malaysia. Our host there was such a nice person and the experience itself gave our trip a very positive dimension. I consider my host back then a true friend and we're still in touch. I hope that i can provide a same kind of experience for other people in my hometown.
