COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Adel from France came and stayed with Carl Dexter and me in Portland Me. Out side of the org I have couch surfed a lot.

UPDATE JUNE 09: Just surfed with Seah and the folks at The Forbes Mansion, Worcester. They are AWESOME folks.

Now in Chicago with Peter, CS is so great!

Kyle and Megan in LaCrosse WI. are two of the sweetest people you'll ever surf with.
