Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mi sofa, tu sofa.
我的沙发, 你的沙发。

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed the couch (not through this program) of an elderly couple on the East side of Washington state for 5 months. They fed me and made sure to take care of me. I would like to extend this kindness to others. Summer of 2006 I couchsurfed around Europe. Hosted people in China as a Peace Corps Volunteer (2007-2009). Traveled through China in the Fall of 2009.
