Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING By surfing and hosting whenever I can to spread the love and understanding that we all just want to get along. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Since my extensive travels (have taken 3, year-long trips around the world so far) my fondest memories are when people have invited me into their homes and shared their culture with us. I have reciprocated many times by hosting couch surfers both on the site and others that have just come our way.
