Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I participate through hosting when I can and meeting new folks on my travels. I promote CS through word of mouth at any opportune moment that greets me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CS'd through both partners, family, and friends accounts but only just now started my own. I've only surfed in the States and Quebec, but hopefully will do so in upcoming visits to Europe.
