HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I heard about CS in June 2009, while doing some research about a trip to Eastern and Central Europe. I contacted a few people from the cities I was going to and had the chance to meet almost all of them. It was great! I met lots of nice, interesting and fun people along the way. After that, I had the opportunity to host travelers both in Brasilia and in Kingston, Jamaica, where I lived for two years. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
