Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Brand new - interested in hosting travelers - and perhaps couch surfing ourselves occasionally.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Jack -I hitchhiked and hosteled a fair amount in the late 60s / early 70s. I had some wonderful and memorable volunteer hosts during an 8000 mile bicycle trip crossing and recrossing North America - folks who stopped and invited me to their homes. Those were the only nights I did not camp on the side of the road.
The showers and warm meals were a godsend.
Rebecca - Hitchhiked with a friend after high school
