Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think this is a wonderful resource and an optimal way to travel. One has a much better experience if one stays with people that are natives. Interacting with new people is the essence of traveling. I have had very positive experiences with CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few couchsurfers, and have surfed twice before.
