Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Providing excellent quality stay, support in travel, sharing good food & wine and loads of fun and laughter.Sometimes serious and reflective - mostly joyful chitter-chatter exchange of culture and experience...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted several times so far - at first strangers,now friends - our expectations perfectly met by hosting like minded individuals - both older and younger - all in all a great experience! Allergic to CS's just needing a place to "crash". In support of CS platform and safety we only host verified members.
