Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In terms of CouchSurfing, I couch surfed my way across Tasmania and met some truly remarkable and generous people. CS really worked! Satisfyingly, I have stayed in touch with all of my Tasmanian hosts. Subsequently, I couch surfed in Western Australia and met another really amazing host.
