GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) -- Crane Sorensen is a surfer, but he's not riding the waves. He's a couch surfer, seeing the world while crashing on the couches of strangers.


The 26-year-old Grand Junction, Colo. man is a member of Couchsurfing.com. It's a social networking site the connects travelers with people willing to host them for free.


He says on a recent trip to Russia he rang in the New Year drinking vodka with his hosts and setting off fireworks.


Sorensen tells The Daily Sentinel he's provided shelter for everyone from an indie band making their first American tour, to students from Colorado State University.
