Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined CS and haven't participated much yet. My boyfriend and his friends rave about their experiences and I have met some of their surfing guests. I've traveled all over the world and usually stay in hostels or cheap hotels. While I've loved every adventure I have felt I a bit disconnected from the place I was visiting. When staying with friends or people who know the town my travels have always been much richer. I hope to gain that kind of experience from surfing and hopefully provide that experience to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed at friends and friends of friends homes along the west coast of America (Seattle, Portland, San Francisco), St. Petersburg Russia, and Berlin, Germany.
