Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet people, talk, and possibly do some traveling in the future..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was part of the Katimavik program, I did a form of CouchSurfing, called Billeting, where I spent a three separate weeks living in different homes all around Canada, including a chicken farm in Quebec, a Computer Programs Apt. in Vancouver, and an actual bed in a retail owners house in Ontario.

Now that I have had a chance to Couch Surf in Florida, I have to say it's freaking awesome :D

Adding on my couchsurfing experience in Kamloops which was all kinds of fun :D

Adding on again, Couchsurfed across Pakistan, fantastic experiance
