HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING When I first moved to Nantes, one of the first things I did was go to a CS event. Everyone was so welcoming and at my 2nd event I met one of my now best friends. The past year I was too busy to get out much at all, but hope to welcome new visitors to Nantes soon! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE The Nantes group has some great meet-ups!

The most amazing thing I've ever done was participating in the Tibetans in Exile Today project with the University of Arkansas. Hearing first hand the stories of Tibetans - from HH the Karmapa to the son of herders who was born as his mother fled over the Himilayas - who are trying to preserve their culture in exile was an experience I simply can not put words to.
