Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met up with a terrific family in Martinique for dinner and hiking through the site. We have also hosted and have several pending guests throughout the fall.

We haven't officially couch surfed yet ourselves, but surfed many years ago when Karen arrived in Paris with some friends and there were literally no rooms left in any hotels or hostels. A French soldier we met on the train let us crash on his floor!
