我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only hosted twice: a really nice French cyclist named Benoit Versace and a wonderful couple from Karlsruhe, Lene and Philip who stayed three nights. I've only surfed once so far with CoVan and family in SE Portland. Fantastic. I'm hoping to do more of both soon. Michiko likes hosting but she hasn't surfed yet.
