HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I LOVE HOSTING AND TRAVELING. YOU HOST ME, I HOST YOU...it's just one big cycle of couchsurfing love. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I used Couch Surfing first when I studied abroad in Arica Chile. I stayed with someone in Santiago for a week, met her whole family, who ended up being from Arica. Couch Surfing made the world so much smaller for me and has made my travels so much richer!
