Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Staying with locals is a much richer experience than staying in an impersonal, corporate hotel. I love the wisdom and local history I learn from each host and can't imagine staying in a hotel ever again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I started with couchsurfing, I stayed with six hosts as I traveled across the American Midwest. Each family enriched my life and taught me something!

In Madison, Wisconsin, I discovered couchsurfing events. I have met terrific people just by attending various activities people have organized.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I have hiked to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado, United States. It truly is a purple mountain majesty. I joyfully ran the Chicago Marathon when I turned 40 to celebrate ten years of no longer smoking. I have visited every state in my country save Alaska. I have visited my first mosques in Turkey and the site of the Berlin Wall in Europe. Every day is an adventure!
