Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While living in Cape Town, I met up with some locals through couch surfing as well as attending group activities. I don't have a couch available right now, but I am interested in meeting other locals in the San Diego area as well as travelers coming through.
