Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Movin', doin' it, you know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some great experiences surfing couches outside of couchsurfing, as well as 2 times through couchsurfing. It is always a trillion times better than hotels. In the same way that hyperbole is about a bazillion times better than plain fact.
