Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking for places to crash when i go to Europe. In return, i want to open up my home to others traveling the states. I currently do not live in a super great city, but it is the last big business city this far north (in Michigan) until you reach traverse city or the Upper Peninsula. Those traveling north could stop at our home for a breather.
I WILL BE IN CHICAGO - and I expect to have a lot more vistors then. However, this will not be until after i go to Europe.
