Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had the honour of staying with a lot of really cool and amazing people whilst travelling through North America. My goal now is to provide people with that same generosity in my home country. Couchsurfing is also a great way of not loosing that travel irit by constantly meeting people in the mindset.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed about ten times so far and had nothing but great experiences.

Interests

Well spare time is usually spent doing whatever is on offer that day. If people are heading out to see a band I'll do that, if the surf is good I'll head out, if I've got uni stuff to get through I'll get stuck into it, so spare time is always filled with something and I never really get bored.
