Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting Couchsurfers when they pass thru my area. I'm down the beach a lot so I meet travellers and talk to them, listen to their stories. I offer my couch, and tune them about Couchsurfing and join them up. That way they can see more of the real Australia, meet real Aussies and meet our friends as well. Spreading the word, networking my local and international friends. Sensational!
