Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a travelling priority, rather than a last resort. I find myself talking a lot about CS - and how one receives a far richer experience couchsurfing than they would staying in hotels or hostels.

I've couchsurfed 20+ times around North America in 2010 and also on trips to Estonia, Germany, Japan and Kenya.

Hosted about 12 times since I moved to York in 2014.

Here are two articles I wrote about my experiences:
