Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By Travelling and hosting.
By listenning and talking.
By being patient with people and hoping for their patience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I drove across the United States in summer 2012 and surfed in Twin Falls ID, Nashville TN, South Bend In, Crested Butte CO, Telluride CO, and many more places.
By surfing I made friends and learned the inside scoop on the towns I visited.

Interests
