HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I like to be a hands on host, and spend time with the people visiting and take them round the city. I don't see it as a free place to stay, but a way to gain local knowledge and make friends around the world. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Have hosted on several occasions, and surfed in France, Belgium, Spain and Germany.
