Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be happy to meet up for drinks when I can. I could host a couch too, if circumstances permit. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the opportunity to host once, and made three new friends in the process. If I can't couchsurf on my trip to Siem Reap this last week of September, I hope to at least meet up for drinks or a bike ride with you there. How about it? :)
