Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting in Minneapolis, Minnesota! However I moved back home recently so I can share my room and home but it is a messy room for a Teacher who is in denial he is no longer a student.
(boxes of print outs, academic articles and books everywhere)

Its very economy family home (bumping shoulders!)
I have no pets sorry. I wish I had a cat for you to hang out with.

The fam would like to Skype first before accepting guests (usually not a problem)

I don't own this house for a few more years so I have to follow rules too! ^_^

*Possible Move to Worcester, Massachusetts in 2017-2018??*

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on a few unregistered couches across the Midwest, Hokkaido, Tokyo and Saitama before this website started.
My opinion: Farmers and Suburban grandparents are the best!
Have friends, acquaintances who have hosted couch surfers and the experience has been very good most of the time.
