COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've had the opportunity to host twice now and loved being a host. I think the CS philosophy of hospitality is fantastic. I know there's a lot of responsibility in hosting someone, too, so let me know in enough time and hopefully we can work something out, but if I know I'll be preoccupied with work then you'll probably have more fun elsewhere.
