Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am quite new to this website, but have couch surfed all over Canada and the U.S. So here i am hoping to further the notion that Canadians are the best house guests and can be very accommodating as well.

I have slept on couches in every province in Canada except Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. Also in Washington, California, Vermont, and i have welcomed friends into my home from most of these places.
