HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Just started getting involved in the Melbourne group after moving here in Feb 09. I want to eventually help travellers to Melbourne get the most out of their Melbourne experience through hosting, meet ups, bar crawls, Melbourne CS group events and using the Melbourne CS group forums to post interesting events happening in my new home city. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Just travelled through US, Caucauses, Central Asia and Laos and used CS a fair bit for finding fellow travellers, locals to meet etc. Now I want to give back to the CS community through hosting travellers and participating in the Melbourne group.
