Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Visiting people while on my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Recieving friends, friends-of-friends and friends-of-friends-of-friends to stay on our couch/floor during their travels and sharing their stories and company, heaps of fun!
I have informally couchsurfed with friends in Sweden and Australia and also via the couchsurfing website in Ecuador and Argentina. Great experiences.

Interests

Nature, learning new languages, sustainable living, conservation, hiking, live music, baking bread, making jam, drinking tea with new/old friends, permaculture gardening/farming, fermenting things (beer, sourdough, kimchee etc)...
