Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went on my first CS trip at the end of June, 2008. We went to Niagara Falls, Toronto, and Montreal, couch surfing the whole way. I enjoy hosting lots of people and showing them around my city. I also participate in our community events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very experienced with hosting. Hosted well over 25 people over the past few years. Surfed in Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, England and throughout the US. All great experiences. I've have also been to a couple of community events, including hosting a potluck at my house in Pittsburgh.
