Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I'm sharing my experiences of a coast to coast hike with those that I stay with along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite couchsurfing experience was in Greenbelt, MD with a recently graduated college student. There was a graduation party the night that I stayed there. It gave me the opportunity to meet many different people.
