HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I hosted for a fairly intense period in 2007, an awesome experience and all surfers were great company. For 2008, I've only now just moved back into my flat but I won't be hosting too much but hopefully a little. I will perhaps be more open to hosting over the Festival period (August) as I know it can be crazy busy around then and a spare couch or 2 would be more appreciated then! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Surfing: Did 2 weeks in America which was a great experience. They get a bad press, but Americans must be the most generous guys and gals out there. Also went to Paris with a good friend and surfed near Sacre Coeur/Opera. I was lucky enough to surf with brilliant, brilliant hosts when I was there. All good. Hosting: Hosted tonnes of truly fabulous people between June and October 2007.
