Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

not had many official couch surfing experiences but my previous sofas, spare beds and rooms have always been used by friends and friends of friends where-ever i have lived so am used to hosting where ever i may be just never through this site!

I am living in rural Southern Tuscany now.. POP by with a tent and should be ok to find you a camping spot nearby - just watch out for wild boar!

I am currently living a somewhat Nomadic existence, darting around here and there whilst working for a travel organization - no fixed abode - generally able to sleep in my car - or find a kind friend or family member to lend me a shower!

always been amazed and never take for granted the generosity and hospitality of places i have stayed with friends in strange places all around Europe and beyond...
