Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I build stuff, whether it be wigwams in the wilderness, homes for friends, bike trailers, or driftwood furniture. I facilitate workshops for alternative building and community projects. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Very little... usually camp out. Have had a good set of experiences in San Antonio, TX while there for conference on Earth Building, and have hosted several wonderful people passing through.
