Meet amazing people, do amazing things, have an amazing time, be happy and enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a couch and are free to host. I have surfed a lot in the past and thought it was great fun and met lots of people.

Now I want to fulfil the other end of the bargain and have people surf and show as many people as possible why I love this city.

I share a flat with two other guys, one of which has a CS profile: http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/tom.heggarty/ so check him out too, he's a huge lad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is such a fantastic way to see and immerse youself in a culture that you would otherwise pass by on a typical backpacking getaway.

My friend Gareth and I Couchsurfed for a week in Poland and thoroughly enjoyed it. I definately plan to have another Couchsurfing experience in the near future.
