Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've now 2 years on CS and it's been wonderful, I haven't had the chance to visit anyone yet but all the people I've had to stay have been fabulous

To meet interesting people, help people out by offering them a free bed and make sure visitors to Northern Ireland have a positive experience of the Newry and Mourne area
