Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a little here and there in North America...hoping to expand that soon. Also, I try my damnedest to be a pleasant guest. The kind of guest I'd want to host.

And I'm now in a place where I can host, so if your bouncing through Omaha I have a couch waiting, unless I'm on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far all has been wonderful! It's amazing to witness how welcoming and generous people can be to someone they've never met. This project gives me hope in humanity.
