Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When possible providing a place to stay for travellers. Having travelled extensively overseas, I enjoy sharing information and stories with fellow travellers and being able to reciprocate hospitality that has so kindly and unconditionally been offered to me in the past.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was fortunate enough to be hosted by a fantastic Norwegian couple due to a mate of mine being a member of couch surfing. They were located in a place just south of Oslo, called Hvitsten. Initially, it was intended to be a 2 day stay but due to the instant rapport that was forged, it became a 7 day adventure interspersed with many memorable and not to mention comical moments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled the entire length of Chile (from Punta Arenas to Arica)on a bicycle. It was an epic journey but well worth every puncture!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Apart from sharing the insights that only a local has of their city or town, I would like to be able to share with fellow travellers the beauty of the place where I live which is blessed with beautiful beaches, national parks, mountains and vineyards. Should you fancy a bit of adrenalin or some exercise, surfing, trekking and mountain biking can be easily arranged.

Alternatively, Newcastle and the vineyards have a great array of restaurants, pubs and eateries to be sampled.
