Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By visiting other Couchsurfers, hopefully I can show them a glimpse into the inner-workings of Marshall's mind. And likewise, maybe I can gain new perspective by talking with other CS-ers...Conversation as a means to achieve understanding and friendship? Who knew?!?I also cook...not that bad either, if I do say so myself.Good food, good talk, good times...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting has been a blast so far, and I'm eager to couchsurf different places and meet some awesome people.
