Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm relatively busy with my work and activities. I love traveling, so I thought it would be fun to offer my guest room. Many nice folk let me crash on their couches during my backpacking days. I find it to be fun to connect with good folks from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hitchhiked through Austria without spending a schilling -- folks were so nice to pick me up, let me crash, and feed me. Blessed with endless hospitality all over Latin America and Asia.
