Looking for some tips for your first couchsurfing experience?

    Excellent video!! It did indeed give a great overview of how safe Couchsurfing is! If you want to see a more extreme aspect of how fun CS can get I made my own video about hosting 40 Couchsurfers at the same time during t…. Was the video on this page made recently? You should show some footage of the Couchsurfing Base Camp that recently set up in the Bay Area. I was so pleased to meet surfers from there before moving on with my travels. Check out my CS profile, and remember: "The world is smaller than you think!!" :)
