Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

host, surf, meet, be ambassador-ish.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i started hosting in chicago and met awesome people from all over the world, made wonderful friendships, and did all the fun things. i surfed in scotland and made some terrific musical connections there - my band's been touring so much that i haven't been able to host in a while, but i'm eager to get back in the game.
