Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Using the internet to build community by opening my doors to couch surfers. I've had a lot of strangers take me in in Latin America in my pre-internet travels. Now I can reciprocate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed a few times but each was incredible and Mexico was filled with serendipity! I've enjoyed hosting about a dozen surfers and most have been very positive experiences!
