Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Washing your dishes, feeding your cat, teaching you useful Irish phrases - anything at all to reciprocate generosity.

When i'm stationary, the couch is available for the surf at all times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slept in a tent under a fan in the garage of Amanda - a seriel couchsurf-host who had so many guests in her house in Darwin we had to be relegated...

attempted & failed to reach the end of a Norwegian fjord with a French photographer. Spent the night in an abandoned fishing hut.

Had a few days in the one-room flat of a Finnish dread whom i met on a train to Helsinki, watching the Committments & listening to Scandinavian hair metal.
