Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting travellers man, Its so cool to hear about what people have done, whats new in their country. And places that I just gotta see.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive mostly been backpacking as when I get a chance to travel working for your bed always rocks. But I have Had some awesome experiences meeting other surfers nd partying with the local surfers.

Interests

Well you guessed it surfing nd pretty much any water sport there is (oh I'm also a bit of a yachty), but i also like to hear about the history of a place,city or country and i also like to see the difference between the cultures in the world I really love travel and music
