FRANCAIS:

Je suis sur couchsurfing depuis 2008, et je n'ai eu que de bonnes expériences jusqu'à présent, je me suis même faite une amie que je vois toujours et qui est venue voyager avec moi en Guinée. Grâce au couchsurfing, j'ai rencontré entre autres: un voyageur anglais aveugle, un japonais nomade, un brésilien écrivain, une américaine et une allemande infirmières sur un bateau-hopital, un couple gay d'équatoriens cordonniers, et plein d'autres gens merveilleux !

ENGLISH: participating in CS since 2008, so far only good experiences and I even made friends for life. thanks to CS, I met some of the most incredible people of my life, among others: a blind english traveller, a nomadic japonese, a brasilian writer, an american an german nurses on a boat-hospital, a gay shoemaker couple, and a lot of marvellous people !
