CURRENT MISSION

I am trying to let life just happen to me as opposed to making too many plans

ABOUT ME

I heard about CS after hanging out with another backpacker when I was in Rome and so here I am.
I'm on the road with no plans and no time frame so I would like to try and surf.
I love meeting new people as I find the best friends you make are with people you meet on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Man I know when I settle down I will be hosting as much as possible. I wish I could offer my couch right now but I havnt found somewhere I want to live yet, but when I do settle down my couch will be free all the time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I havn't had any couchsurfing experience but I have had a bit of experience of being put up by people I've met around the place.

I love the idea of couchsurfing, I mean youth hostelling is cool but it seems a bit impersonal and cold at times you know.

I like to get involved with life and get to know people in a more intimate enviroment and it seems like the CS community has that kind of mindset

Interests

I love being on the road.
Although the uncertainty is pretty scary sometimes, it is well worth the experiences.

I've met so many cool people by travelling and its definetly restored my faith in humanity.

Another love of mine is getting lost in new cities.
Just walking around taking in the surroundings and thinking, its such an amazing way to explore a city and so easy - all you have to do is tear your map in half!

Unfortunetly I dont have a couch to offer at the moment but after experiencing the limitless generousity of strangers I know that when I get a flat I want to be able to pass on that generousity to others.
oh and theres nothing like having strangers turn in to lifelong friends
