Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was doing my solo USA road-trip a few yrs ago with some heavy couchsurfing all over - I found amazing ppl and places and looking forward to host ppl in Israel and do some more CS in the US soon...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

many stuff...I was staying in a california-next-to-nowhere ranch for a night with all the creatures and animals around, and a lovely host who also introduced me to lots of wonderful Country, Western & Bluegrass music...
I hiked with ppl in the SF bay area and I was even hosted by one of my hosts' mother in Texas when I had a last minute call with no couch available...
I was hosted by a lovely family in Kentucky while making my first steps in banjo practicing to their great delight/tolerance...
and much much more enlightening journeys of generousity.
Thank you all!
