Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've been on Couchsurfing almost since its inception. My first guest was back in 2005 when I was living in Korea. I haven't always been free to host, but when I am, I try to provide the most comfortable situation possible for my surfers.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted and have been hosted and all experiences were fairly positive. Obviously, some people are cleaner/more polite/thoughtful/generous/appreciative/perfect than others, but that's to be expected ;)
