Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING am working on how to fit in, at present.

Can send photos to anyone interested in that particular project. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Did it with friends, and friends of friends, long before the Internet.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
My Great Dane saved me from a burning house. We got out, lost everything, and still had each other. He amazes me every day, as I raised him from a kitten. :)
