Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are airbnb hosts now, and open up to couch surfers when we have openings. We've used CS to meet local people when we travel, and we spread the word about CS!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted many people from around the world and for various lengths of time on our 'couches'. Our record is 16 people in a fiddle band who all had beds in our home.

Interests

Rory loves to dance: swing, salsa, zydeco, contra..She loves making art: painting, crafts, and is fascinated by cheese making. Both enjoy traveling and gardening.
