Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch Surfing to us is akin to random acts of kindness - opening your home & showing great hospitality to a stranger is one of the nicest things you can do for a person.
Couch Surfing just seems like such a brilliant way to meet people, travel & really experience a place. We both know from living abroad that the best person to take you round their town is someone who lives there, not a tour guide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had only positive experiences, we've met some great people & we hope to meet many more in the future. So far we've hosted & met up with people for a drink, we're yet to surf ourselves, watch this space though!

Interests

The most obvious thing is travelling, we suffer from severe wanderlust. As mentioned above we’re into snowboarding, eating out, socialising, keeping fit & playing poker! We also love watching films, reading, walking in the mountains & fancy dress parties (to date we have been penguins at an igloo party, bananas at a jungle party, a sailor, air stewardess & part of a 12 person tracksuit team at a, well, tracksuit party) – see out photos if you want a taster of our outfits!

Music, Movies, and Books

Our iPods are crammed full of all types of music, from the Rolling Stones to hardcore trance! There’s always music on in the flat somewhere & we love going to concerts, in the past couple of years we’ve seen Kasabian, The Killers, Gwen Stefani, Razorlight & the Kaiser Chiefs, Pubic Enemy – who were all fantastic.
Our taste in films is as varied as our taste in music. We recently saw Atonement & that blew us away. We quote Anchorman a lot & we like silly comedies such as Austin Powers & Hot Shots. Martin watches a lot of Snowboard films, his favourites are More, Mtn Lab 1.5 & Ubermovie.
We read a lot – mainly guidebooks! Jacqui likes John Steinbeck, George Orwell & history books. Plus a good helping of trashy magazines such as Heat & Grazia!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We did a sky dive in December 2007 in Queenstown, New Zealand. The experience was one that cannot be described (so we bought the DVD!). It was a tandem jump from 15,000 feet on a beautiful day, incredible.
