HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While in Ukraine in 2010-11, I hosted several folks in Kiev and Odessa. Since June, I have returned home to Minneapolis where I'll be able to welcome some travelers around my work schedule. Now my partner Erin and I are taking off on a west coast adventure, hoping to meet other couchsurfers.
