You can look at my Instagram page to find more about me too @felicitymacintosh

I left the UK in January 2014 and spent a year travelling in Asia and one year working in Australia. .

In February 2016 flew to Kathmandu in Nepal to volunteer with All Hands, who I volunteered with in the Philippines in 2015. Like in the Philippines I rebuilt houses after the devastating earthquake.

In March 2016 I met my younger brother and cycled to Indai from Nepal. We spent five months travelling India by bicycle and wild camping. I introduced my brother to Couchsurfing in India.

I believe the best way to see the world is to live like locals do and I love meeting new people from every country.

My first couch surfing experience was at the mid-autumn festival in Hong Kong in 2014. I've since met CouchSurfers from all over the world; Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Canada, France. I have since stayed friends with many of them and meet them on my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually travel alone and like to meet up with people and make new friends. CouchSurfing let's meet local people and learn more about their culture. I also like to help people with their English and share stories about my country and countries I have travelled to.
When I visit a country I want to experience how local people live and not just the tourist attractions.
