Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING
My first CS experience was the best thing that happened to me while I was studying in Granada, Spain in 2011. My lovely host showed me around town and helped me find a cheap flat in a beautiful location. In 2013, I went on a 5 month trip around the world where I stayed with lovely CS'ers in Australia, Asia and Europe. In 2014, I traveled through South America with help from the CS world. Often, I would meet locals for coffee and language exchange (abroad and in my own country). I love this network and always use it during my travels. Since then, I have hosted several of my new friends I met during my travels in NYC.
