Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My door is open to fellow travellers needing a place to stay. Lets foster active participation in our lives and the lives of others around us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hmmmm, I have to admit- I'm pretty experienced when it comes to bumming around. Carry shelter with you- tent, tarp it doesn't matter- it's good to be prepared though and it's nicer to sleep outside anyway.
