Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to get to know the life of the country from the inside, to learn its culture, traditions, the mentality of people, their real life. This app gives you an amazing and unique opportunity to feel yourself like home when you are 1000 km away from your real home. And feel yourself like you are travelling even if you never left your country
