COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Jack and Grace have taken to couchsurfing and have met some great people
We have had many couchsurfers stay. One time Doug tried to see how many he could invite at once while Gaye was away and we had 12 sleeping over. Jack was asked "where are you from" and he said "I live here!"
