HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I will get verified when I am not travelling and poor. I have surfed for a month through Europe but I have been most active in hosting since I arrived in Palermo. Including unofficial couchsurfers I hosted around 80 people in the space of 2 months. I believe it is better to offer the choice to sleep somewhere less comfortable than to not offer anywhere at all. I have also taken part in some of the CS meetings in Palermo and some of the English language classes. I promote couchsurfing to anyone I can; having inducted friends and members of my family. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My friends regularly have couch-surfers and they always get me to come over so that I can talk to those that can not speak English. I have met French, Spanish, Ecuadorian and Italian couchsurfers all of whom have been really cool. I hitched through Europe Csurfing all the way. I met the most amazing people and experienced the places I visited through the eyes of a local. This made my trip better than i could have ever imagined. I also met my now current housemates in Palermo through CS. They said they would host me whilst I looked for a flat... I moved in 2 days later! Since then together we have hosted loads of people having loads of parties, some finishing at 8 the next morning. I have had 2 week long sessions with CSers that I have got on with really well. I can honestly say I have met a lot of people who were no longer CSers by the time they left but friends / temporary roommates.
