我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy hosting often, and do my best to show people the local hot spots and fun to-dos when I'm in California, Maryland or Ohio. I want to show the non cs-ing world that this whole CS experiment works and is wonderful (also, to make sure you've read my profile, and are not blindly cut copy and pasting me, please type AHOY! into the subject bar when contacting me, thanks!).

It's been a life goal to see all of the new 7 wonders of the world. So far I've been to 4 of them.

教，学，和分享

Couchsurfing is only one part of the puzzle, l feel, towards the development of a worldwide sense of community, compassion and understanding built on a person to person basis.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'd be happy to contribute some time to beautifying your home -- I'm a Permaculture Designer/Teacher/Landscaper/Farmer by trade -- either that or I will just do something nice for you and not say anything about it :)
