Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My parents were Servas hosts for a number of years while I was growing up, and I always enjoyed the cool people that visited us. Two years ago my wife Amy and I joined Servas for a trip to India and Italy, and we stayed with some great people in both places. Since then we joined couchsurfing (which is much easier to use), and have couchsurfed in Norway and Japan.
