Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Rachel - I believe life is about continually gaining a better understanding of the world around us. This can be done in many ways, but for me, I learn best by experience. Therefore... I travel, I interact with others, I party, I try to learn new languages, I invite people who are traveling into our home, I watch how everyone else does things and try to understand why.

My world view is constantly changing and shifting, but my goal is that everything I do will make it more complex and at the same time perhaps more accurate or at least more aware.

I guess that's more of "why I participate", but that's cool too...

Liz - I first started CouchSurfing when I met Rachel in 2010 and we hosted several people together. Since then, we have done a fair amount of traveling and have met a fabulous array of people through the CouchSurfing network. After more than a year of living rather nomadically, we are excited to be settling down again and to finally have a couch to offer up to travelers. We are eager to get started repaying a small fraction of the kindness and hospitality that others showed to us when we were on the road.
