I'm a well-traveled, social and outgoing woman. I recently discovered couch surfing, and can't wait to get started. Though I've never actually couch surfed before, I've heard stories from friends about their couch surfing experience. Years ago when a volcano erupted, families were stranded in a Toronto. A friend of mine hosted many of them. She provided such a needed experience for stranded travelers in Canada. I'd love to be part of such a generous and giving community- both as a giver and the receipient.
