Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had several wonderful couchsurfing experiences on the west coast and a few in Europe and look forward to couchsurfing in travels yet to be planned!

Now I live in a quiet suburban/rural area north of Worcester, an hour west from Boston where there's not much to see but I finally have enough space to possibly host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time couchsurfing was in Amsterdam and it was wonderful! When my girlfriend and I drove across the USA last winter, we stayed with several great hosts in California, Oregon and Washington. Then we drove back east across the U.S. and had more great couchsurfing experiences in Idaho, Montana and South Dakota.
