HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I hope for the opportunity to exchange cultural views with a few curious characters through hosting or meeting up for a cup of tea. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I hosted a few English nomads in California this past summer, and decided to join. Since then I have couchsurfed in Greece, Italy, and France, and am hoping to spend some time on the couches in the US this year.
