Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot for pleasure and work. I hate hotels and public camp grounds. I'd rather sleep in a tent or surf a couch no matter where I go. When I am working I try to find a place to crash but it can be several weeks so someone with a small cabin, spare room or apartment would be best. I'd be happy to pay rent!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I have taken my first road trip and surfed 2 couches along the way. I drove over 1,500 miles seen some awesome sights and met some fantastic people along the way. Great memories and Couch Surfing was a great success. I am hooked!
Update 1/31/2010
It's been one year now that I have been a surfer and have been from SanDiego to Miami. I have surfed 8 couches that I can remember. EVERY one of my experiences has been fantastic! Met some amazing people and had a blast along the way. Still haven't found that perfect place to live but I have at least 4 that are pretty dang close. As far as that rhythm to life.... I am getting closer to it.
