Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have enjoyed the presence of couchsurfers before, want to keep the revolution going!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our first Couchsurfing experience went down in Ireland. We were hosted by a man named Eamon on his dairy farm. We milked cows, we went (wave) surfing, met another Couchsurfer who took us in for the next few days. It was all a pretty incredible experience. Thanks Eamon and Alan!
We continued couchsurfing in England, most notably staying with a Danish guy in Liverpool for a whole week. He was about the most generous person I've ever met. He kept us laughing (and drinking) the entire time. Thanks for the Cavern Club mugs Anders!
In Rome a guy named Christian took us in and hosted us for three nights. Christian took us all over, to restaurants we never would have eaten at, to the Vatican at night, even to and from the train station every day.

Couchsurfing has added so much depth to our backpacking experience. It is quite a beautiful thing that is happening all over the world and it is a blessing to be a part of it. Can't wait to host a few of our own!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met my wife in Africa. We were both traveling around the world and crossed paths in Swaziland. So, in essence I traveled around the globe to find me a wife. We were on a volunteer trip for 11 months that took us to 13 countries, respectively. So we met in Swaziland, started liking each other in Thailand, and started dating in Hong Kong! It's a cool story that we love sharing with people! :D

Eric -I taught English at a Buddhist monastery in Cambodia and bungee jumped the tallest bungee jump in the world in South Africa.

Jenny - I moved to Australia when I was 19 and lived there for 3 years. Climbed the Great Wall of China with 25 friends. Got followed by spies in Cuba when I was 16.
