COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

when i travel, i have usually met people the ol-fashioned way, in the street, and ive surfed a few couches this way, but this site sure makes that easier

I've hosted a couple times and attended a lot of meetups around the world when I happen to be traveling through the area...

Travelwise ive been to maybe 42 states in the US, lived in Argentina, Peru, Thailand and India, travelled to italy (my fathers side is from there), Germany (my cousin is there), Belgium, Netherlands, England, France, Costa Rica, Cambodia, Burma and Vietnam. Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico.
