When we returned home to Bend, we asked ourselves, “why not do that in Bend?”Ī year earlier, in June of 2011, Candy and I spearheaded the first regular monthly CS Bend meetup. We enjoyed, in a matter of few days, as many of the activities as we could that Boulder CSers love about their home, with our local CSers available as guides the whole time. We toured the Celestial Seasonings tea factory and lounged a lazy summer afternoon at the park floating Boulder Creek. We made our venture to Boulder a road trip through several national parks and arrived to enjoy several days entirely dedicated to the Couchsurfing community. The team, along with a group of volunteering local Couchsurfers (CSers) would provide a structured schedule of events to allow CSers to explore what makes Boulder a wonderful place to visit and live.Ĭandy and I were set.

Through great fortune, a close college friend of mine, who had been living in Boulder, CO, for some time, reached out to me to share that he was part of something called the Boulder Couch Crash.
