About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience (The only way to truly live)

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Doncaster in South Yorkshire. I am in Leeds studying at a local University. I have a excellent experience of couch-surfing as I spent 4 months using couchsurfing in the Unites States and Canada and had a amazing experience and met some life-long friends. As I mention further down I cannot offer much private space as it's student accommodation so it wont suit everyone but I'm happy to try an give something back to Couchsurfing as, from experience, I know how much of a massive difference couchsurfing makes when your travelling to new cities. I'm eternally grateful for my couchsurfing hosts in the US and Canada as my trip wouldn't be half as good without them.

PHILOSOPHY

"when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" Samuel Johnson (1777)

"life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forwards"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a lot and try to meet people off the forums. The people are intelligent, hospitable, hilarious,caring, curious, helpful etc. Couch surfing is an amazing concept.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After using couchsurfing non stop in all parts of the USA and Canada for 4 months and meeting people off the forums during this time I have had a lot of experience. I think I know from being a frequent guests what works and what doesn't.
