Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I check my couch surfer page very frequently. There's two spare rooms so potentially I can host up to three couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Brighton, UK and met some beautiful, generous people which really made me want to give back to the couch surfing community. I've hosted couch surfers in Brighton, UK when I lived there. I am currently based in Ireland again and I want to host and couch surf :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked the Camino de Santiago this year in August, and again in October. At's an 890 km walk across Spain from Saint Jean Pied de port in France to to Santiago de Compostella and onto Fisterra. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It was amazing to experience this walk in both summer and autumn (especially autumn, you can eat wild chestnuts, walnuts, blackberries, grapes and Apple's along the way.)
