I've been a member since Spring of 2011, and I've had some great experiences! I've enjoyed putting people up, but in March 2012 I traveled via couch for a week and had such a wonderful time. I'm a true believer now, and I'll still be surfing when it's not just about saving money.

When I was 15, I rode around the jungle in Vietnam on an elephant before rafting down a river. The raft sank and my dad's camera was wrecked. And that was in the '90s, so it was a really big ridiculous camera that could store 12 photos on a floppy disk.
