Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started to Couchsurf Summer 2007 and had a great time. Have surfed and hosted outside of the CS website but hoping to get more involved again in 2017!

I have couch-surfed in Germany, Morocco, Norway and China; and have hosted a few people in Manchester. Every experience was great and I look forward to surfing more in the future!
