Couchsurfing is a website where people from all over the world offer up a free sleeping spots in their homes for random people who either dont have money or just want to make new friends. It is something that I have been wanting to do for a while. To be able to just randomly be invited into someones home for a night or two and experience something new if always worth a try

How I did it: I went with a friend who had couch surfed before for my first time. We were going to a show and needed a place to stay so we got on the couchsurfing website and found someone. Read how I did it…

I’ve heard a little bit about this, though I don’t know entirely how it works. I would like to go on a random trip and couch surf where ever that trip ends up being. I am not sure how safe this is, but it sounds like an exciting experience.
ButtonGirl27 is getting there!
Set up a profile sometime ago, but still have not done this. Maybe on the upcoming road trip. I told my friend about it and how we should do it. She seems a little skeptical, but I told her we have to try it at least once.
I have an account and I want to do this some day maybe in a year.
Can’t wait! but i have to be VERY catious…

I was thinking about doing this when I headed to Vietnam.
but being the cautious person I am decided to test it in my country first. It is really cool and you nerely always meet like minded people.
I have a profile. I am thinking about having someone surf at my place first.
lynner um...hello again! I've missed you!
I now feel like I have two new friends in this soon-to-be-my-hometown. we had so much in common, which was such an unexpected and sweet surprise. I went trail running with m., yoga soup with j. and spent lots of time relaxing and hanging out. we hope to meet up again this summer, either when they come up to the bay area, or when I go back down.
