HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've been traveling or living the nomadic lifestyle since joining CS, so I have participated by sharing my passion for travel. Now I'm back in my hometown, still living a nomadic lifestyle, don't have a couch, but can make a meal or meet for coffee. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Met some great people in La Paz, Mexico; Irvine, California; Girdwood, Alaska; and Boise, Idaho!! Attend potlucks sometimes in Boise and tell every travel-minded person who isn't a Couchsurfer how great CS is.
