Couchsurfing was such a magical experience for me. I was a bit lonely in a new city and went along to a party hosted by another CouchSurfing host. I made two lifelong friends and got to know another wonderful group of creative & kind people.

I probably hosted 10 times and stayed with people about the same. Each time it was such a wonderful experience - by far the best way of traveling when I was in my 20s. Truly an amazing exercise in trust, as well as building experience of the kindness of strangers (with memorable adventures).
