Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
During my travels i was very active with Cs.I went to localevents (boardgame night bangalore, CS meeting Chennai, Indian Trail Blazers, Meetings in pondichery). In Austalia i went couchsurfing in wollongong and we had a regular au-pair evening on the thursday evening wich i put on CS. Whenever i go traveling i always look for a place to go couchsurfing and for people to meet!
I've had some guests over at my house, but i havent been very active the last two years. Im trying to be more active now im setteld down.
