Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted quite a few surfers over the last couple of years. Someday I hope to add surfing myself! We also have a local group of CSer's who are generating local get togethers. I participate in these when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a lot of wonderful guests. My most unique guests have been a man bicycling around the world (he only had the US left to finish his trip) and a celloist touring the country doing "house concerts." all of my guests have been WONDERFUL.
