HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING i try to be a fantastic host and a respectful surfer. i tell everyone i can about this wonderful project! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE my first couchsurfing experience was amazing ~ i was the surfer, and my host was the perfect role model for the type of host i hope to be. she walked me to the subway station and taught me how to ride it, made me extremely comfortable to follow my routine, made mouth-watering meals, and was a wonderful conversationalist.
