Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I particpate by offer space for travellers when I am able. Also passing on information. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My couch surfing experience is excelllent. I travel by couch surfing around the USA & Britain. Hopefully that will expand to other places in the future. I have been couch surfing, hitchiking, house/animal sitting, for many years. I love travelling this way because I get to meet real people, and have genuine experiences that I wouldn`t get if I was hoatelling - which I can`t afford anyway !
