HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been a networker since birth, and I think that CS is a fantastic way to network with people from other countries and cultures. What better way to experience a place than with someone who lives there? I travel for extended periods of time and always find myself becoming friends with locals, and it is wonderful! To become part of a culture and really live it is life-changing. Kudos to CS for making this easy. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE No couch surfing experiences via couchsurfing.com, but I have been drifting for quite some time. I've slept on couches and floors and futons all over the place. Every experience was great!
