Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm limiting my room to couchsurfers who need a place on short notice and are typically in school or not working. For working folks I have a very low price for the room and you can book it via Airbnb.com .. the link is: www.airbnb.com/rooms/16083406?preview

Thanks!
