Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Surfing and, when my living situation allows for it, hosting. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've only had one CouchSurfing experience so far but I cannot say enough good things about it. My first host welcomed me in during a NYC winter and totally disarmed me with his generosity and sincerity.
