Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently i am doing a fundraiser for children with Cerebral Palsy. For this i am going to be driving an old 2cv citroen acadiane from 1987 all around the mediterranean sea where i will be visiting hospitals, rehab centres and families to help in any way i can. I can teach my skills as a physiotherapist to local staff, i can traet children if need be. Also i hope to create a photographic log to show the state of care for these children in the countries i will be visiting.
So if you can help, please ....
