HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING i have been a surfer and have been a host. Couchsurfing has changed the way i see ppl and the world. It is an amazing network of ppl and if you were to encapsulate couchsurfing into one phrase or one concept that would be..it's open and well intentioned. it is actually pretty rad. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE During my trip I couchsurfed with many different hosts , not because I've wanted to save on a hosteling (I've been doing the hosteling too) but mainly because it's been the best way to immerse oneself in the experience of a city. I've hosted numerous times in the past with friends and friends of friends and since returning I've finally had the chance to officially host as a CS'r. Unfortunately, my living situation doesn't make it easy to host. i'm hoping this will change as as soon as I move. It's been amazing so far...
