I love "nature" in all its uncivilized forms and some of its civilized forms, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've never participated. But I've hosted friends and friends-of-friends, and when I was travelling in South America, I stayed with friends-of-friends-of-friends and then later with their friends, too! Oh, that belongs in the next box. Oops.
