Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I have a sofa. And have been on here for a long time.

Appendix:
I'm going to have to be one of those curmudgeonly couch surfers and point you to this guide on writing a good request: https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/articles/200640010-How-do-I-write-a-good-couch-request-

It is worth noting that "Make it Personal" means more than just using my name correctly. I've had some great experiences as both a guest and host but they start from treating this as the beginning of a friendship and not a mass marketing exercise.
