Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I think it is the perfect way to get in touch with locals. While traveling it’s easy to just ‘hide’ in the comfortable travelers bubble. But from what I have experienced, its really really nice to speak to the people that live in the country and actually see a bit of their lifes
