HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have couched surfed a few times in France and found it a fantastic way to meet some people and get a local's perspective of their home cities. I look forward to hosting people when I have a home :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My first experience was when I stayed with a gorgeous couple in Rouen and it's been all positive since! I became good friends with my original host in Bordeaux and we hung out heaps with his awesome group of friends when I returned and lived in the region for the summer. Through couchsurfing, I've met lots of super friendly, generous people, experienced the true french culture and have managed to work on my french along the way.
