Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately as a live in au pair so I couldnt really have anyone stay at my house, unless you were an Australian of similar age who I could pretend to be a "childhood friend". Then once moving to Brighton I kind of took a break from couch surfing because I became a little bit too comfortable (stagnant) with my surroundings :( So I now pledge my allegiance to the couch surfing community and promise to be more involved in the future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I often couch surfed in my hometown and my house was always open to my friends on weekends. However I am new to this in North America!

Interests

Looking at pictures of Angelina Jolie/Drew Barrymore/Scarlett Johansson, watching people on the tube, thrifting, eating, poundland, dying my hair crazy colours
