Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to give travelers a homey place to sleep, dinner and drinks, and tips on the good things to do in my city. I love to share stories, learn new things, and solve the problems of the world over a beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

lovin' it! I haven't done much surfing (though I'd love to) but I have had the good fortune to host many amazing travellers. It's always been a great experience.
