Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started back in 2008 when I lived near Boston. I moved to North Carolina and become more active in couch surfing now that I have had my own apartment. Update! Now I own my own house... Even better :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in Somerville, MA we had some great guys from Australia stay with us couch surfing. In India I met up with a few people doing couch surfing and was very lucky for their hospitality and showing me around. Anna stayed at my place in Asheville, NC and so did her lovely pup! I had a great time surfing in Syracuse NY with Kat! More recently Allison from CA stayed with me which was great and we even helped a table of random strangers win at trivia night! Dayle stayed with me recently and we had lovely conversation, Indian food, and listening to live jazz music outside! Since returning to Asheville I have had some great surfers and look forward to more!
