Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i've had many a traveler stay at my house before even knowing about couch surfing. there are two french women here as i write this. i can't wait to have travelers in this city be more of a fixture in my weekly life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i love this term. couch surfing. surfing on couches.

an acquaintance had a british friend coming to san francisco. i offered to show him around the city and next thing i knew he had settled into our hallway for three months. he magnificently surfed that hallway. to this day we still call that hallway simon's room.
