Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can’t offer a couch at the moment, but if you’re anywhere near, give me a shout and we can meet up for drinks or I can show you around.

When couchsurfing, I chip in with food, cook, help with fuel when driving.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed before when I was travelling around Italy in the summer of 2007. It was a great experience and I'd recommend it to anyone!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've sat on the Great Wall, saw a tropical storm in North Australia at sunrise and stood in front of the Taj Mahal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm keen to meet a variety of people and hear their stories, learn about their lives. I hope that I'll have knowledge or experience to offer in return.
