HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I surfed in the past while I was traveling and studying in Morocco, and my roommates and I have hosted a few travelers at our place in San Francisco. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I'm still pretty new to couchsurfing but I've had two great experiences so far. I surfed with Mike in Alexandria for my first time and it was really awesome. He showed us the city and welcomed us into his home like family. Also, we met up with a CSer in Istanbul who took us around the city and hung out with us for a couple days while we were there. Looking forward to having new experiences through couchsurfing!
