Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have hosted many different groups of people. We're happy to let you do your own thing or join us. You can come and go as you please; join us for meals, sit around the campfire, or we can take you on day trips around central New York. We hope to stay with couch surfers as we plan our future trips across the US and around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted guests and loved it! Each time was a little different, but each time was wonderful. We had our first experience being couch surfers, when we went to France and stayed 2 nights in Grenoble---awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share
