Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was young, I invented an extreme sport called "bed-boarding" where you strap shoes to old skateboard decks and jump on furniture. When I heard about couch-surfing, I thought that my sport had finally taken off, but to my dismay the site is only dedicated to helping travelers connect with hosts. I decided to give up bed-boarding and travel the world.
