COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my CS experience so far were very enjoyable, met some great people and get to know the local culture. Especially love it when a few of my host took me off the beaten tourist track and into the wild nature! This is the best thing ever, to really get to connect with people all over the world, share stories and life together! I remember every single CSer i met and i really treasure the time we spent together. Couchsurfing has transformed the concept of travelling for me, it's all about the people I meet in a new country, there are stories associated with each host and traveller that I meet.
