Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING When we lived in the city, we hosted quite a few times and loved it. I really enjoy having someone stick around for a week or more, so we can really get a chance to get to know each other and they can take the time to get to see the city. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Most of the traveling we've done has been sleeping in cars and tents but have stayed with a few hosts, just for a night or two.
