Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING My goal is to be open to couchsurfers whenever I am not traveling. This will vary, as I also have out of town guests and friends who also visit Vancouver. :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I joined CS in September 2011. I have had the pleasure of connecting with the CS community here at home and overseas.
