HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Come fall of this year I'll have my own place at which time I hope to have any old person (groups of people, throngs...hoards?) crash. Until that time I'd have to run it by my current roommates but I'll try and if you can't get a place here in Olympia shoot me a message anyway and I'll help you find a place one way or another COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Failed to find a couch to surf and ended up sleeping in a little hobo camp in south London. Crashed on plenty of friends couches.
