About Me

CURRENT MISSION

experiencing the world!

ABOUT ME

I am a generally happy and positive person and I love having people around me. Meeting new characters and hearing their stories is probably one of the reasons for why I love and appreciate couchsurfing so much!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a member of the hospitality club since 2006 and have found a home away from home in London through that. I've always known about couchsurfing but never really got around to registering. Sometime in August 2008 me and a friend randomly picked up two hitchhikers at the motorway at night on our way back into London and offered them to stay at ours for two nights... they were on couchsurfing so I decided that it was about time to register here as well...
Since then we hosted quite a lot of people in London, went to Prague where we stayed with Vitek and Krikri (the hitchhikers :) ) and hosted a lot of people in our flat in Macao and now in Bangalore!

While my profile says that we are currently not hosting, this is mostly because I am receiving a large number of requests from inexperienced/new members. Genuine surfers, please send over your messages and requests :)
