Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, I have hosted, I have met people for drinks, I have taken some time away and now I am back.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Current:
I can't always host, but I am always down for a drink. So please get in touch if you think we should meet and would like to see my view of LA and more.

Old Experiences:
I recently returned from a three month trip in Europe. I had rented apartments in a few different cities but still participated in couchsurfing by staying with people or meeting for a drink. It was a great way to learn about these cities and cultures from a local's perspective.

One quick story:
When I first arrived in Paris, I did not have my apartment for a few days. I couchsurfed with a gentleman by the name of Arno. Upon first meeting, he gave me his keys, let me drop off my luggage and pointed me in a good direction to wander for the day while he had to work. This is the type of integrity that CouchSurfing is based on. He would become a friend during my stay in Paris and beyond.
