Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Have used CS as a way to meet people in the countries I have travelled in. Now I am not travelling at the minute, I want to meet people who are! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Surfed in eastern Europe in Nov/Dec 2007 and loved it. When I lived in Asmara, I happily hosted the few intrepid Couchsurfers who make it here.
