Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host and surf, and tell everyone who will listen how this is changing the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I lived on couchsurfing for two months in college when I was working on the Obama campaign, and hosted as often as my roommates would let me (which wasn't much). Now getting back into the community.
