HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING To host or to surf, that's the question. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I lived for a year in Berlin with a roommate that use to do Couchsurfing. I dind't know anything about it before but I really liked the whole idea. When I moved to Madrid I started to host people. Now I do it in USA when I'm traveling or when I'm at home in LA.
