Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will need to be making some trips to Florida over the next year and need a place to have packages sent to and sleep for 1-2 nights every few months... I currently host volunteers through another site so I thought this would be just another form of exchange I can take advantage of... especially since I have 5 bedrooms and a lot of hammock hanging space :)
