Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've had the opportunity to surf with some amazing individuals and do things that were previously unimaginable. From hosting in Cambodia to surfing in Argentina and Chile, there have been so many excellent people that I have been able to learn from and share with.
I look for surfers and hosts that match my enthusiasm to learn about the city and try different things, especially if it's food or alcohol.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
CSing has been an excellent adventure. I have had the opportunity to meet many people through hosting, surfing, and traveling and have enjoyed hearing all of their stories.
