HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I can meet up for a drink, meal, or party. I have used the service to meet people in Ukraine, Turkey, Romania, Russia, Greece, the USA, and Poland before, and I hope to do that again. I have hosted several people in Tajikistan, Russia, and DC, and really enjoyed it. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I met with some people in Ukraine, Turkey, Romania, and Poland through Couchsurfing and found the experience very rewarding. I hosted a number of people in Tajikistan and DC, and also enjoyed it. I look forward to meeting more people this way.
