HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have met some wonderful people in my travels, and would love to provide space and entertainment for them should they ever wander my way. I would also love to meet new folks and see new places. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've surfed and hosted with friends and travel buddies, but I've only couch surfed with a stranger once. It was a great experience, so thanks, couchsurfing!
