Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am back in Australia at the moment but intend to head off over seas again soon. Not sure where maybe SEA , Portugal, Spain ... ??? around South East Asia and beyond.
I can contribute in many ways to my hosts experience. I look forward to hosting anytime I have suitable accommodation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been involved in several Couch Surfing experiences as a host and a surfer. We had Couch surfing visitors while I was sharing a house with my friend Pete at Murwillumbah. I have hosted a visitor from New Zealand while she was on a quest in Australia. I was living in Thailand for a year and visited some CS hosts including house sitting for a family while they are on holidays. I am looking forward to meeting new people through couch surfing as I travel around SEA and while I am back here in Australia.
