Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ive surfed in the US and was an active hoster in Liverpool! Have been traveling for a while and am now back in Manchester. Am unable to host at the moment, but very up for cups of tea and co-sight seeing with surfers and other couch surfing peeps.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being in the Gobi desert in Mongolia with nothing at all but dunes as far as the eye could see and watching an unspoilt 360 degree view of the sun setting. Spectacular and humbling!

Two weeks in an Indian ashram meditating, hatha yoga and a simple life - the most rejuventating thing i have ever done. I think i glowed for months!

TIBET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
