Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of the awesomest people I've ever met were through couch surfing. Sometimes, i'd meet someone awesome, then find out they were through couch surfing! I've surfed on many a'peoples houses, and hosted many a'more people when i lived in Berlin
