Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You really don't know a place until your actually there...CS helps connect quickly with the safe and interesting places and things to do...a short stay is good to have a contact and new friend to help really understand the new place your in...and help with local knowledge. Awesome!
I recently completed my 1st CS adventure in south Am. It was so cool to meet locals and learn about their area and travels.
When traveling solo,I feel safer just knowing them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After my first year I have A much better understanding.
So far it's been great. Great CS group in Bolivia.
I've made new long term friends from all over.
