Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Only condition is that I offer my couch to only those people who have let out their couch at least once and have at least 3 positive referrals from others on their page... It's just a matter of comfort-level and supporting the spirit of CS.

It's good to know that you have read my profile and are hence placing a meaningful request and not just trying to save on hotel... if yes, then write this password 'RuPaul Drag Race' as the first line of your request...! :)
I am gay and surely want to engage in conversations about politics & culture. If you are homophobic, then this is not a place for you.
