Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I like to attend Weekly CS Meetings in cities that I visit and help CSers in NYC/NJ (or even a location that I am visiting) find their way around in safe, affordable, and efficient way. I like to participate in any open mics that I can for comedy in English speaking situations. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Created a connection with a CSer to find housing in Barcelona for one week (2010) Hosted a CSer at a temporary apartment in Barcelona (2010 & 2014) Helped CSers traveling from Chile and other countries purchase affordable New York Yankees tickets, brought them to the game (Bronx) and shared my favorite local bar in my neighborhood at the time, Murray Hill (2014)
