Hi, I'm David and have been a native of Newcastle for over 8 years now.

My business is all about meeting new people and making sure they have a good time so I'm happy to try the same with my guests!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people from different cultures to host them and make some new friends. Would love to network with people around the world and hopefully visit them in their own countries one day.
