Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Need to find out how I can participate more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No couch surfing experience with CS as yet, but I like the philosophy immensely. As couchsurfing existed before CS did ( amazingly!!) I had a lot of those of these 'pre-CS couchsurfing experiences' when I was a student. Indeed one of the mission of one of the places where I studied ( College of Europe in Bruges) was to create an address book with the addresses of your fellow students to visit them later or or visit some of their friends etc.... Nedtworking in the pre-internet, pre-mobile phone age, imagine that!!!!The States was also another place I did lots of couchsurfing, as in the States they are very welcoming, or at least were in 1977!
I have been introduced to CS via a CS couchsurfer, and if people in CS are all like him, well indeed a great, even wonderful idea!
