Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When i travel places, i usually end up being 'adopted' by a local, so to speak. just hanging out, making friends and being offered a couch... it really is the BEST way to enjoy your holiday and learn about your surroundings. i'm so excited to be a part of this network!
