Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Countless positive experiences being hosted. Can't wait to reverse the roles and share my home with wide-eyed travelers. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Started couchsurfing with a friend in Spain, and it was so amazing I decided to make my own profile! Used this great service all over Europe, hope to use it a bit in the States, too.
