Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have hosted many wonderful couchsurfers so far, and met or been hosted by several more in travels. Life is really full, so we may not have time to show you around. We enjoy sharing a good meal and some free-ranging conversation and can give you lots of info about what to see and do in the area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is a wonderful community. We have been amazed at how compatible our many guests have been over the years---we share so many common values and interests. CSers in general are an exceptional slice of humanity.
