Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have known friends who has been involved in couch surfing and I realise it is a great way to make friendship specially when you are new in town. My housing situation currently does not allow me to host surfers, which I am looking forward to doing in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had lots of friends from Seattle and Melbourne, who has been hosting and traveling with people from couch surfing.

Interests

I like discovering exotic food and traveling by blending in to locals. I'm into outdoors sports, such as hiking, surfing, camping and more. I'm in Melbourne and Australia for a limited time, so I would like to do as much as possible while I am here.
