Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

anytime someone needs a place to crash that i know and like, i offer my bed (which often tends to be a couch!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

following the Grateful Dead and Phish in the last 20 years, many 'dead heads' or 'phish heads' give rides and find places to crash on the cheap or better yet, on the free to maximize our experience and keep our costs down..
