Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being South Asian it is in our culture to do cultural exchange and host people - so feel free to message me for chai or hosting. I even helped my dad (http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=7JGP740&from_search) get on CS and he's traveled the world this way :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend introduced me to Couchsurfing in feb/08 as we went from Vancouver to Seattle and stayed at a wonderful girls place. it was really fun!

Of course, informally I've had many of my friends stay with me who've come from across Canada, US, South Asia, and Mexico.
