Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i am available as tour guide in indy, not that there's much to see. glbt friendly. alaometimes have couch or floor space. own and run overlook hotel, which is not really a hotel. now and then go to some local couchsurfing event; there' used to be a fairly active local group. 2015 update; now live at no limits housing coop on the west side near campus. we have 5 couches and frequently host. http://nolimitscoop.tumblr.com/
2016 update well the housing coop fell apart i'm back at overlook hotel but all the room s are rented, we might squeeze in one person somehow. still up to meet for coffee or whatever. hope to move into a new house soon.
2016 update: no limits is gone. i am back at overlook hotel but usually no vacancies there plus the sign is gone. when i am in town, i'm happy to meet for social events/hang out but you can probably find a better couch surf. i'll consider last minute requests for bare bones accomodations. well last minute might miss me, i'm just saying i shouldnt be your first choice. i'm kind of a hoarder and the books took over the guest room.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have hosted 7 sets of couchsurfers, i guess that's 26 people-nights. update: surfed three times in kansas city, 3 very different experiences, all positive.
