HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I really like the idea of CS. I love meeting new people and i know that hanging out with the locals is the best way to really get the feel for wherever I go. I also like staying in hostels but it is so much better to hang out with locals. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I am an ardent advocate of couch surfing. Anyone I meet I try to convince them that it is really an awesome experience and that they should try it out. I have been on CS since 2010 and have had mostly amazing experiences on it.

I was standing on a roof in Indonesia in the middle of a thunderstorm and there was so much static in the air that my hair was standing on end. I just really loved feeling all of the energy in the air as i stood on that roof. When I was in Bolivia we went to a lake that seemed to absorb all sound. It might not seem like that big of a deal but walking alone I could feel the lack of sound pressing into me.
