HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING If I have the time and chance I'll host people who take the time to read my short profile and still would want to meet me. Copy/Paste is fine, but I like to feel special, so let me know why you want to crash at my place and not my neighbours. Hope to surf some couches myself as well. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Crashed a few beds here and there and had people staying here. So far only good ones through this Forum. Hope the people have enjoyed having me. I sure appreciate their hospitality.
