PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host often. I go to meet ups. I've tried surfing myself but it's never panned out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was hosting two fellas from Turkey. It was pretty awesome. I spent around two weeks couch surfing in the Los Angeles area. It too was pretty awesome. Plus hosting or almost hosting the random traveler that comes through town. Couchsurfing meetups in town.
