Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stay with friends all the time whenever I travel, and I have friends from all over the world staying with me in New York...but because I have met so many wonderful people over the last 5-10 years, my living quarters are often quite full, so a lot of my surfing and hosting is done off the CS network.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

mostly through Hospitality Club, but i have hosted, been hosted, made a little movie about it, and enthusiastically spread the word about CS/HC to everyone i know.
