Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Brisbane now. I can't update my location information because of the stupid verification process won't allow me to unlock my home information. Blah.

Ex-Gold Coast ambassador.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted quite a few people now and it has been nothing but positive experiences. You meet so many new and interesting people and travellers are never lost for words or stories!

The Gold Coast CS community is also great, and the hosts regularly get together for drinks and shenanigans :)
