Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't had the chance to host yet but when i've surfed I do try my best to return the host's generosity.

Very into my photography and always happy to shoot a portrait for someone or share my knowledge. http://photography.martinlambie.com/portraits
Cooking - love sharing food knowledge and more than happy to provide and cook a meal in return for couch. cooking, IT geek skills, washing, drying, conversing, humourizing, what more could you ask for?
