Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I havent been around here for ages, but I used to both host and surf. I think its a great way of traveling and meeting new people and new cultures!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up since I met so many people out on the roads who praised it and I can only agree! My first time surfing was at Elmas place in Kuala Lumpur. I hade the best time ever with her and her family and then you can add that I met an other great traveller (who also stayed there). When I got back home from my 9 month long trip, I worked quite a lot and mostly stayed at hotels. In June 2009 I bought my own apartmant and I hosted quite a lot back then. But now I have been laying low here for a couple of years but then I just realised that it had been ages so I wanted back in. I love meeting new people and especaily travellers that got great stories from other countries! :) I will go out travelling again soon, so be prepared to accept my requests! :)
