HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Eva Katrín and our friend Þórey have been a couch-surfing team for decades (Ok a few years.. Ok, ok, a couple of months) and they stayed in Köbenhagen, Denmark for a few days with a super-nice fellow. In return they let two Swedish pretty-boys stay at Þórey's place and one British officer and a gentleman stay too.
