PHILOSOPHY

That sounds like a terrible idea, let's do it! Sometimes the mad, potentially crazy things turn out to be the best fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I speak some korean, know my way around and I even know a single magic card trick and a few drinking games. I also know CS hosts in a few cities and have a tent. 가자!

I've hosted csers when I lived in Edinburgh and recently surfed in Malaysia and Singapore. When I lived in Daegu almost a year and had a couple couch surfers. Just getting settled in to a new flat in Glasgow with space to host CSers :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Whenever I visit friends and family abroad I always end up couchsurfing! I've stayed in Zimbabwe, South Africa, across the UK, USA, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and got many more planned!

Teach, Learn, Share

Couchsurfers are like children setting out on a wild adventure with nothing but high spirits & a bag of toffees..

Food. So much food. I know Glasgow and Edinburgh really well, always happy to recommend a hidden pub or weird tourist attraction, or gem of a tea shop.
