Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosting people since Nov 07. And I've guested in Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Belgium, Canada. All those times I've been treated with nothing only gererosity, kindness & great company.
There has been a lull in my CS activity for the last 3 years. I'm trying to re-vitalise my CS life again. (Or at least update some of the profile pics)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a good few people so far and I haven't had the urge to kill even one of em. :)
