Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed quite a bit. Haven't been able to host much because I have so many housemates, but I've definitely paid it forward in various ways.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in 11 states. I have probably had upwards of 2 dozen experiences, and can't wait to have more! I have never had a bad experience with couchsurfing.

A few years ago I went on a cross country road trip to look at communes. We couchsurfed from Kansas to Oregon and back and had a blast!
