Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i enjoy attending CS gatherings in the city, but lately it's been difficult to meet people where i live so i end up meeting up more when i travel

I look forward to some day hosting CSers myself - last year I briefly had a good spot to host, but my flatmate and I were constantly hosting friends and friends of friends from out of town so we didn't have time to open our home to CSers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i unofficially couchsurfed on a CSers couch before i ever used the site to plan a trip, attended local events organized by couch surfers, stayed overnight in rural Connecticut on the way to a friend's wedding, and met cool people in Germany on a trip for auditions
