Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Since I moved to Glasgow, I've had to take room in a small flat with no communal room that I can use for couch surfing, however my flat is a short train ride away from city centre and I can host in my large bedroom if a surfer is comfortable with that arrangement. I also take part in the Glasgow Couchsurfing community - (great way to meet people)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
For much of my late teens and early twenties I owed a lot to the kindness of strangers through all of my travels. While not directly related to CS, I think I owe in small part something to society in the same way
