HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I would say I am still in process of getting started with this. From what I know or have experienced until now though, I am very interested in becoming an active CS'er in the close future. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE So far; I have been hosted (together with my girlfriend Annika) at two wonderful places in Istanbul. Also I have been attending a CS-Community Dinner there, which was an amazing experience.
