Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

ive been telling everyone about couchsurfing for like ever. had my first CS experiences while abroad for a year, looking fwd to hosting some.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my first two CS experiences were both in Prague. i met up for coffee/beer with betty, and then dana, both czech locals my own age. it really opened my eyes to the huge difference between seeing a city as a tourist vs as someone who grew up there.

my only surfing experience was in paris. what i would have done without that couch, i have no idea. it's one of my favorite travel stories - you'll have to ask me in person!
