Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences hosting surfers. Making people feel at home and helping them discover the beauties of my city fills my heart with gladness. have met such great people through CS who have inspired me in countless ways.
This year (2014) I have been blessed with gracious hosts who have invited me in and shown me the wonders of their cities! I have made some genuine lasting friendships in such short amounts of time. Time, time.... CS rules.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Blown away by the generosity shown to me by the CS community since joining.
The experiences I've had and the people I've met through CS are varied and beautiful. I am still friends with everyone I have surfed with, and have traveled to new places with them!
I look forward to surfing couches and offering my space for many years to come.
