(At A Local Travel Anonymous Meeting)
Me: "Hi, I'm James... and I'm a travel addict."
Everyone: "Hi James"

I fully embrace that Couchsurfing is not just a free accommodation. I do it for the cultural exchange and getting the "insider scoop" into a city/region. I will make an effort to get to know you. It's a social thing for me. I will respect your home and your rules during my stay.

On a related note, I'm on this daring adventure (LIFE) to meet people and broaden my knowledge of this fine world. I yearn to meet a wide variety of people during my travels.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

It's a better way to travel. It's a cool way to immerse myself in local culture. It's also better than sleeping on the street, even though you could still meet lots of people that way I would assume.

Like I said... I am no freeloader! I'll help you out if I stay with you. I have two hands for doing dishes, two feet for sweeping, and a radiant smile to brighten up the room*. I also want to host people right now but my accommodations aren't great, and nobody seems to come to Windsor for holiday (hmm, not sure why).
