Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i currently don't have a couch to share since i'm traveling, but when i win the lottery and settle down i hope to be able to give back to all the kind and generous people who have helped me out throughout my wanderings!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i'm just now starting to use couchsurfing so i don't have much experience at this point, but i've been unofficially crashing on couches, in MC club clubhouses, on floors, in hammocks, and other random places for years now. excited to start using the service since i've heard so many good things about it from friends. it's the people that make traveling so fulfilling and that's what couchsurfing seems to do so well: bring people together!
