I like making stuff, exploring the world, company, solitude, stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I planned a trip to Spain only to find that the friend I had planned to stay with wasn't who I thought they were and lived in the opposite of Spain - half an hour away from where I then lived in london... so I was left with 12 hours to go until my flight and no plans (and many missed calls from an obscure londoner named Prince) thanks to Coachsurfing, I had a spontaneous adventure and realised I was more strong and independent than I realised. Also, through a chance encounter I bumped into a great girl who needed a coach and she ended up staying with me for weeks and even moving house with me and brightening up my life!
