COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best experience was a random 10 hour road trip with 50 people to the depths of Death Valley in Nevada, where we went camping among donkeys and scorpions in a desert oasis of natural hot springs and spent a second night on top of some of the rarest sand dunes on earth. Certainly a weekend to remember.
