Life is like theatre we are all it's players.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I don't participate in couch surfing very well. Until writing this I had not logged into this site for about 3 years. I have mixed feelings about the direction of this site becoming a corp. They took many donations as a nonprofit and rewarded those donors by becoming a business wtf... But it is what it is, still an excellent tool to meet people while traveling.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first official couch surfing experience through this site was with a wonderful women in Helena Montana. Since then I have had many unofficial surfs, mostly facilitated through, and traveling with, my wonder partner Kellyn
