HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I went to Russia and Ukraine back in the day with a friend and slept on four different couches in four different cities. We enjoyed seeing the culture from inside out. I want to give that to my guests too, but only the lucky ones, cause my time is limited, so I like interesting emails. No standard requests and I prefer to host people from exotic distant destinations. We get a lot requests in Amsterdam.
