Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a gift of hospitality and enjoy meeting new people. I also have unused space that can be utilised by a person who needs accommodation. I love teaching people about the culture and history of my surroundings and give them an opportunity to experience my town and country in an authentic way.
My husband and I love traveling. We favour less commercialised travel experiences and having local, authentic experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have extensive knowledge about loads of random things that people generally find interesting, we have the enthusiasm for hours and hours of boardgames. The energy for back to back excursions and the grace to grant guests their privacy and rest. We can make excellent recommendations as we have broad knowledge on the surrounding area.
