** Currently not hosting, as I'm presently foster parenting in my home** HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING As a host, sometimes I'm busy with school, and its just a friendly stay with a meal or conversation. When possible, I love discovering adventures with folks. Out of towners spur me on to look for the beauty in the familiar, such as recently discovering my rooftop in the rain or the cafe down the street. Likewise as a traveler, I love those opportunities to stumble into the places and things that my host is passionate about. (I'm not much of a partier.) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My roommates and I have hosted a number of CSers in our apartment over the years. A few times this meant roaming the city together when I had the time... I enjoy searching out adventures. Many of the guests have participated in cooking a meal together here and eating on the roof, which is also great. I surfed once with a host while in Nicaragua.
