Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think it is nice and personal to stay with people, I am pretty experienced in travelling, so I can pass on information, tips, do,s and donts and maybe contacts. But there is always something to learn from others too.
Dont mind giving a hand or helping out in peoples home or workplace.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first joined a couple of years ago in New York, My initial experience was in Philadelphia and Washington. The people I stayed with was great. Did a little in Lima, Peru. I kind of dropped away from couchsurfing for a while. So I want to start up again.
