Be compassionate and practice empathy

Dont deny it: Groove.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted in Montana and Colorado and surfed in SE Asia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had incredible experiences surfing and hosting. It is an incredible community to be apart of and participate in. I have met some of the wildest and most insightful people of my life through CS and I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity. Also some of the experiences I've had while surfing have been some of the most radical bits of my travel endeavors.
