Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to connect with people all around the world while having the chance to listen their different stories. It's also an advantageous platform for both the hosts and the travelers because it helps travelers to find a place to stay in a local's house and this builds a friendship for both sides. I find it meaningless to stay in hotels, esc., when there is a chance to stay with hospitable people who you can learn from and share your life experiences and culture.
