Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had an experience of hosting couch surfers.. (only twice) but loved it!

We love meeting new people and sharing great times, and if we get a friend and a place to stay sometime then great, what a bonus!

But we are looking for kind supporting individuals to help us on our travels through Europe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything that is creative and brilliant at the same time.
I love to watch drama's, horror's, comedies, indie films, and the odd chick flick (don't judge me)

Music taste is very eclectic, I like to sit and write my own too.

Love the Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials trilogy.
