Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently young, poor, and studying abroad. I think the best way to travel is by meeting folks where they are. In the future I hope to be a resource for weary travelers. In the meantime I hope to experience hospitality that I can pay forward later.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most recent - older couple in Switzerland. Can homemade Swiss cheese fondue be beat by anything?
