HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING We enjoy this whole CS experience- meeting up with other surfers and hosting... we've met some amazing people and made life-long friends. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE We hosted about 8 people in NYC, then surfed our way through Europe for 6 weeks... it was a blast! In San Francisco we've hosted a bunch more people. We surfed in Central America and while road-tripping from SF to our new home in Mass. Mostly great experiences to speak of... There was a particular instance where a couchsurfer in NYC, in his words, said "I suggest you do my laundry". Meaning down the street at the laundromat. The kicker? We did it!! Should this EVER happen again, we will drop-kick you out of our home... so be prepared.
