Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a CS host in Oslo. I have surfed in over a dozen countries across three continents. I've sent many welcome messages to newly registered couchsurfers.I have joined CS meetings in Oslo, London, Edinburgh, Madrid and Tokyo.I have hosted some CS parties, including a successful Sushi Party!I have meet couchsurfers for coffee/drink, mostly in Oslo where I've often 'acted' as a guide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing longer that I can really remember. Before CS I was crashing on couches in London & Bristol. With the rise of the CouchSurfing project, making contacts have become that much easier. It have allowed me to look into the way people live. As my experience grows I have found my confidence also expanding. Now when I am travelling I can approach people much easier!
