Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first joined Couchsurfing to look for a place to stay in Germany, and had a great time. It has been a great way to meet people and get to know different places! This year Alfredo and I have enjoyed exploring WA state and OR, and we look forward to taking some trips outside the region.
