Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, as yet. But met a few good couch surfers via friends in Arequipa, Peru. Also, on my travels through South America, some amazing people were overwhelmingly generous with their hospitality (although not thru couchsurfing), and ever since I have felt the need to give something back, so as I'm gonna be resident in Korea for a while, this is the perfect opportunity.

Interests

Photography, playing guitar, cycling - on or off road, also bike touring, camping, caving, reading books that make you think, eating good food, cooking, chilling in front of a good movie, innuendo,
