PHILOSOPHY

I'm mildly obsessed with finding out how to live a life where the work I do feels like a kind of purposeful, yet playful activity that I can keep doing all my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to share what I know about couch surfing as I learn it, and when I'm back from this tour, I'll see what I can do to make a couch available for other surfers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to couch surfing by an existing couch surfer while halfway through an inter-railing tour of Europe.

I was stunned by how welcoming and warm our host was, and how incredibly positive the experience was, and now it's hard to imagine wanting to travel the rest of the tour any other way.
