Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some travelers might think that going around some popular attractions is all about traveling. But, I wanted to communicate with people from different culture to understand their real life.

I'd love to experience their lifestyle from food to the way of thinking. It would be great to have chat with CS hosts about their daily life, personal philosophy; thought about marriage&relationship, careers, politics and any other cultures. I want to share my original culture as well.
