Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was so lucky to get to surf with some awesome hosts down the west coast of the US.

Since I've been home, I've been keen to host, but always worried about not having a lot of time to show you around...

You're always welcome in my home (if I'm here!), but at the moment my life doesn't often give me time to go chilling in the city with you! :-/ That said, I can give you lots of suggestions about places to go and how to get there... and you should come to the West End markets with me on a Saturday morning.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Blown away by CS experiences on the US Westcoast.... a little nervous about hosting, but hopefully people who come will be nice :-)

Interests

Music (guitar, cello, piano, singing; folk, indie rock, classical, jazz, rnb, house)... playing and listening and sharing and writing...
Tennis, squash, snowboarding, scuba diving, life, friends, strangers, DOGS!, psychology, neuroscience...

Family - mine and other people's

Photography (arty and of friends...)... especially jump/air photos! I collect postcards, usually because I buy them, then like them too much to put them in the post!
