HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been treated so well by strangers when on the road. I want to return the favor.. and make that essential difference in someone's journey. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE CouchSurfing has been a great way to travel. In Edinburgh, Paris, Beijing, and within my own country... I've really enjoyed this community. Now that I'm back in San Francisco, I'm excited to keep the adventure rolling, do some hosting, and meet some peeps.

I found a phone booth in the middle of the California desert once. It was ringing, so I answered it. It was a German man named Danny. "Is this the American desert?" We talked for awhile, and then I hung up. It rang again. It was a Scottish woman. It turned out that someone had put up a website with a photo of the phone booth, and the number. And it rang off the hook. I camped by the phone for two days and answered it, and spoke to people from 25 countries.
