Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just beginning and willing to host one or two people at a time. I have a three bedroom house, but two bedrooms are upstairs and unheated/uncooled. One room is actually being used for storage right now. I have an air mattress you can crash on.
Note: I do have one cat, so if allergies are a problem, that's something to consider. He's a friendly guy, though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted one traveler cycling across the US and it was a great experience.

Photography--teach and learn. Literature--teach and learn.
