Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just graduated from college and bicycled across the United States. During those two months, I met all kinds of people and was welcomed into many homes via Warm Showers or otherwise. I had an amazing experience and was astounded by the generosity shown to me by "strangers." I am dedicated to returning the favor when I have my own domicile. I am currently traveling overseas for some nonprofit work in Nepal, and may try couch surfing en route.
