CouchSurfing



I chose this video because Couchsurfing has a great affect in my life.I discovered CS from an American boy who came my city when I was talking with him a cafe.I advice it all my friends to use Couchsurfing.
CouchSurfing International Inc. is a corporation based in San Francisco that offer its users hospitality exchange and social networking services. Today a lot of people travel or host thanks to Couchsurfing

In this video people answer that What CS means for them. Someone says that CS is a big experıence , other says it is a international connection , another says that it is learnıng lot of things or being a language lesson or meeting new people and fun. and I love Couchsurfing because I enjoy being able to immerse myself in the worlds of others, as this enables all of us to benefit from each others' shared novelties and broaden our horizons. Couchsurfing is truly traveling--not tourism. It is truly a beautiful experiment.

After CS ,I learnt what about finding nice people everywhere and sharing nice experiences while traveling, learning from different cultures, traditions and languages in my hometown or while hosting. Not only have I had some absolutely amazing hosting experiences, but I have made countless life-long friends in every corner of the globe.I have a lot of different friends froM different countries like from USA,Polonia,France,Slovenia,Canada,Italy.etc.In the video we can see CouchSurfer's referance. I host appromaxıly 20-25 people and I use CS since 2010 summer.and I have 13 positive referances.
My mission is to share,to help, to meet, to discover all over the world.
This is Couchsurfing ! :)
