Hi there! I'm Fred. I'm new here on CS, but I have done couchsurfing before. I have a few reccomendations on my Couchers account (couchers.org/user/fredieone) from a solo backpacking trip in Europe I did last fall. I became a huge fan of the coucsurfing concept and would like to both host and be hosted. I think I can talk about pretty much anything, and I have a variety of hobbies, so we will probably find something we have in common. If not, I guess we will learn something new from one another!

Right now I am at home recuperating after a long trip around the northern parts of Europe. Come say hi!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The typical reasons I guess, Couchsurfing is a great alternative to hostels and such. It's a way to meet amazing and authentic people from all across the world. I think making friends from other countries/cultures is something very enriching and special, which I will never grow tired of.
