HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have surfed a few couches by now. I greatly appreciate the mentality and kindness of all involved. It's the only way I'm able to/want to travel. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My first surfing experience was in Berlin, I could not ask for a better way to start surfing. The hosts we stayed with treated us like family, and the stories they shared colored the way that we saw the city.
