HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love to travel, and to meet new people and learn about other cultures. I've slept on so many couches in my life, so I feel like it's only fair return the favor :) A few years ago I lived in tucson, AZ. The house I lived in—nicknamed the 'Rabbit Ranch,' because of all the rabbits in our yard at any given time, was big enough to house 3 or 4 people per night, and we had an average of 5 people stay per week. I think we had the record for Tucson's most surfed couches. It was fun to host so many people from all over the world - it was like a free B and B. So my plan is to try to host people here in NYC when I can (though my roommate isn't so into it unfortunately). COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I did a lot of surfing over the years, and still do at times, though I'm new to CS. In Mexico, I stayed with friends in Guanajuato and in Mexico City. And all over the u.s. in so many cities, and a few places abroad, in Singapore, and India. My sister in Los Angeles always joked about how her couch was permanently attached to me.
