Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've stayed with others and now I'm able to start hosting myself. I would be most interested in hosting families, either in my very large farm house or camping on my property.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of my favorite experiences of all time have been staying with folks willing to share their couch.
Sofa in Naperville IL, before a day of on the job training
Beautiful guest bedroom, family of eight in LaCrosse WI after concert downtown
Condo, guest bedroom, in a scenic mountain town in Sicily
Guest bedroom w/ private bath, wonderful family of six in Madison WI for three days, bless them
Guest bedroom and private bath in St. Louis MO
