Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met some amazing people while traveling, and while back at home in San Francisco I've been fortunate to attend some Couchsurfing events. Unfortunately, my work (journalism) makes it such that I am traveling frequently, so it's difficult for me to host people because I'm oftentimes coming and going on the fly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never had a bad CS experience. I think this project is amazing, and I'm happy to participate whenever possible. I consider everyone I've met along the way a friend.
