我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For myself: Nearly 60 years of being a nomad, vagabond everywhere and anywhere. I love travelling passionately. Happy to do work exchange for 4 hours a day if I stay longer than a day at a host's accommodation 💜

As a host I would love to offer a room or a couch for short periods of a minimum of a day and a maximum of a month. For any stay more than a day, work exchange (any reasonable type such as gardening, housecleaning, assisting with housepainting) would be expected along the lines of WWoofing or HelpXing, namely 3 hours a day minimum.💚 I can be a travel/walking guide on big hikes or day hikes anywhere here in NZ, or overseas if and when I have a couch too. We live near amazing trout rivers and lakes.
