Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few couchsurfing experiences thus far. All went great (mostly hosting).

A story about Amsterdam - I'm not a big stoner so needless to say Amsterdam weed was a bit powerful for me. I got too high and went to rest it off in my room. The room was dark and empty and I noticed a big hiking bag on one of the beds. Except I didn't know it was a bag. It had it's straps to the sides and for about a minute I was wondering if they had moved a giant caterpillar into our room without asking us, which would be really uncool...
