Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a couchsurfer, but when I have a spacious apartment I will start hosting people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started using CS fairly recently, and it has had a significant and positive impact on my perspective on traveling. I traveled to Ireland, Italy, Spain, France, and Switzerland for a couple of months as a solo traveler and couchsurfed my way through these countries.

I also submitted a video documenting my experience for the Couchsurfing "Get Inspired" contest:
