Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people at my house. my response rate is so low because two of my housemates handle all of our couchsurfing guests through their couchsurfing.com accounts, although I have oftentimes spent the most time hosting our guests. we have had many amazing travelers come through our house over the past year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used couchsurfing.org in Quebec City, Honolulu, Detroit (ask me about my stay at "fire weed universe city") and most recently Asheville. It was awesome!!! But I have also slept on couches in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Bloomington, Saint Louis, Louisville, Chicago, Cincinnati, Kingston, Montreal, Toronto, Kingston, and Brooklyn.

Interests
