Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i like to share the vibe of couchsurfing. especially the aspect of trust. often when people first hear about couchsurfing they can be incredibly skeptical and ask "but how do you know they won't rob or rape you??" while safety is important i believe this community has shown that when likeminded good people come together beautiful things can happen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have hosted some people and have met alot of other couchsurfers through my good friend kate whose couch i often surf.

Interests

travelling... duh. partying, walking, listening to music, going to gigs, fan of the theatre and enjoy enjoying the great outdoors in the form of picnics. in summer i live on the beach.
