Why I'm on Couchsurfing
The Idea of meeting new different people and get to know about their social and cultural environment motivates me a lot. Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to get in contact with locals and gain authentic experience and to improve my English. I'm enjoying the principles of sharing the differences in cultures and way it live by living at the same place and sharing stories and ways of thinking. Thats why I look forward to every single couchsurfing experience because the variety of human beeing and thinking is tremendous.
