Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am fairly new to CS and want to travel and visit new CS hosts in different parts of the world. I'm pretty mobile so don't really have a home base. But I always make sure I have at least a couch to provide to fellow travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far the only CS experience I've had has been going to the Seattle CS social event where we camped in Kalaloch beach in the Olympic national forest in Washington, US.
