I’m from Winchester in England and I love bike polo, tea and Irish music !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I firmly believe the best part of travelling is the people you meet along the way and Couchsurfing is the best medium out there for meeting some great movers and shakers.

Without the local insight Couchsurfing offers, city trips can end up a little dull and impersonal, so your advice and comapany is invaluable!

Have met some great people through Couchsurfing and plan to meet many more.
