COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have surfed officially for many years now, and have hosted my fair share of surfers too.
I've stayed on plenty of friend's couches all over the united states...and friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends...as well as some in Central America, Europe. and Japan. it's way better to stay with people--the food is better, and the atmosphere is, well, homey. I have enjoyed a cup of tea many times with strangers. I've knocked on doors and asked to put my tent up, have only been refused twice.
