Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to this, but I think it is a wonderful program that I look forward to getting to know better. I love to travel but it can be expensive and difficult to get around without anyone who knows the area. I hope to meet some interesting people from different parts of the world while I travel and I would be happy to provide someone else with a place to stay or a guide around my city.

Interests
