我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking for places to stay and locals to meet. When I get back home in 2013 I hope to start hosting in London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only couchsurfed once so far but have always meant to do more. Have done lots of sleeping on couches and floors across the UK when touring with my band. I also organised gigs in london and hosted bands from across the UK and also Sweden and Norway at my house. i've stayed with friends all over the world so the couchsurfing idea is very familiar to me.

兴趣

i love music and have played in bands since i was a teenager (have a look at www.myspace.com/thesiegfriedsassoon but we're on a bit of a break at the moment).

i love to watch live music and DJs and listen to all sorts of music from around the world. i really love it when friends in other countries show me stuff that we don't get to hear much in the UK! At the moment i'm listening to a lot of Jamaican dancehall and Bruce Springsteen.

i watch lots of movies, especially from the 60s and 70s - both classics and weird stuff.

i like to watch football and i support leeds united (don't laugh or say 'who?'). i also play a bit - i can do a job at left back or as a defensive midfielder.

i also obviously love travel and experiencing new things!
