Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

June 2012 - Just getting started but hoping to meet new people whilst travelling for 11 months.

September 2012 - After 2 months of travelling in Mexico and the USA I have used couch surfing to find brilliant hosts in a number of cities and participated by going to group events and meeting people for activities in different cities.

June 2013 - Finished a great 11 month trip with over 15 different couchsurfing experiences! thank you to all of you!

September 2013 - Back Living in London so now I am trying to host as much as I can, send me a thoughtful request :)

August 2014 - Been living in London for a year have had a great mix of guests coming to stay. Some of whom I even surfed with in the past! Looking forward to meeting new people again this year :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have couch surfed with 4 hosts so far in Mexico and up the Californian coast. Every experience has been memorable so far and I cant fault the generosity and kindness of everyone I have surfed with.

After over a year using CS I have now surfed many times and hosted a few times. Loved every experience, will be hosting many more for the foreseeable future but hopefully also the odd surfing now and again when I have time off work

Interests

Photography - Especially nature stuff and people (i realise that almost covers everything)

Sports - I enjoy being active and playing sports most specifically rock climbing, football, hockey, rowing, pool and table tennis but am always happy to get involved with anything

Live music and drama - Love going to gigs, playing guitar and participating in drama and watching it

Travelling - I really enjoying meeting new people and exploring new places but more importantly emersing myself in the culture of the places i visit (which CSing helps alot with)

Friends - Like hanging out and having good time with friends and I enjoy making new friends around the world

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of the music I like includes: Strokes, Killers, We are Scientists, Bloc Party, Aqualung, Pinback, Two Door Cinema Club, Bombay Bicycle Club, Bryan Adams, Train, Goo Goo Dolls, The subways, Azaelia Banks, Einaudi

Films - City of God, Tropa de Elite, Pans Labnrybth, Man on Fire, John Q, The last Castle, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Anchorman. Favourite Genre of films I would say is Thrillers, but happy to watch anything that's not too dull.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 3 months hitch-hiking up the Careterra austral in Southern Patagonia

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share English Language skills, Geographical Knowledge about glaciers or Photography skills. I could teach Guitar or how to properly shuffle a pack of cards.

I would like to learn languages (spanish and Portuguese mostly) and also like to learn from any other photographers, musicians or artists.
