HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm still a relative newbie to couchsurfing, but my experiences have been open, welcoming, and in the spirit of the couchsurf. I'm happy to help others in and around Vancouver as others have helped me in Canada and Latin America. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I lived in an un-official couchsurfing house for years, and have definitely surfed a couch or two in my time. The best experiences are balanced between regular life and extraordinary experiences... and most certainly getting the local tips on great places to visit.

Lived with coffee farmers in El Salvador, dived in Borneo Mayalsia, visited chemical plants in Brazil, and hiked the West Coast trail on Vancouver island.
