HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Knowing how much I love to travel, I want that for others. I've lived with and hosted Surfers before and it's a mind-expanding experience. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My favorite experience was in Brooklyn, where my grandma and I stayed with a group of bohemians. I truly got to experience all of New York City and meet fascinating new people. I also met two other Surfers from Spain there. We had great talks, got lost in the city, and walked over the Brooklyn Bridge with them at midnight.
