Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far it's mostly been couchsurfing events (pot-lucks, get-to-gethers, etc), but I've also hosted and been hosted a few times - hopefully that trend will continue!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, once upon a time in a land far, far away, I lived on some friends' couch (invited) for over a month. I still consider it an accomplishment! I've also stayed with several new acquaintances while thru-hiking the Appalachian trail a few years ago. Now I just tend to aim for more typical couchsurfing experiences!
