Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a few couches in Europe and Colorado and my couches are open to all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had wonderful couch surfing experiences in France and Austria.

I stayed with a charming French family in Lyon and also caught the France vs. Italy match in Nice (sorry about the loss, Flo).

In Austria I stayed with a few students of various ages and majors and I still regret that I couldn't spend more time with them.
