Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I'm hoping to meet the good people who volunteer their time and living space to help travelers like me, and in the future when I'm more settled I hope to return the favor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a family in Adelaide, South Australia for a week and had a fantastic time! Relaxed for a few days on several local beaches, learned how to surf and drive on the left, explored the wine country, went to some parties and barbies, and picked up the local dialect. Truly a one of a kind cultural experience!

Interests

reading The Economist, dozing in the sun, eating big meals, wheat beers and sippin scotch, dawdling on the Internet, hagiography, i'm working on my scrabble and nyt crossword skills
