Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel as often as I can.. and I love culture and new experiences. Birmingham is a pretty rad city, so I'd like to help anyone out who's interested in visiting...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing is kind of amazing. I've stayed with interesting people who have been so kind, and I would really like to provide the same sort of experiences. It's great meeting people you can connect with via our passion for traveling and experiencing new things in life.
