HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've been so grateful to every host who's been kind enough to take me in, and I plan to repay that generosity once I have a more stable living situation of my own. But alas, that time is not quite right now... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I couchsurfed a ton during a summer 2012 road trip, and i met so many great people. Hope to be able to CS again soon...!
