Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting... pretty cool and invigorating having new people coming into my life and space. Surfing... hitting the road, skies and waterways and ending up in someone else's world... nice. Connecting and being connected.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been a CS member since August 2011... really started surfing over 20 years ago though... staying with friends in other countries, crashing at friendly stranger's places, living/working at youth hostels while travelling in Australia/SouthEast Asia.

First surfing experience was in Palm Springs in March 2012... great trip. First experience hosting was with Kim... who introduced me to CS... so first official hosting of a fellow CS was April 2012.
