I am currently working on European health policy in Brussels—clinging to the EU—and am new to couchsurfing. I like to travel by bicycle and so usually use the cycling equivalent of chouchsurfing: 'Warmshowers' - please see my references which can be found as a screenshot on my photo's as i don't think the link works ( https://www.warmshowers.org/users/philip.hines)

I am keen to meet and laugh with like minded locals as for me it is one of the most enjoyable parts of traveling; it is the people not the places which one remembers most fondly.

Unfortunately only being 25 and on intern wages, I don't the good fortune of living in a private residence where hosting is accepted. So far the people I have met through warmshowers have been fantastic. I consider this form of travel the most rewarding—gaining a local's viewpoint on the area adds a lot of depth to ones impressions of a place.

For some reason it won't let me link my Facebook account, but here it is: https://www.facebook.com/philip.hines.10

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never used couchsurfing, but i have used a cycle touring version a few times. I am keen to meet and laugh with like minded locals as for me it is one of the most enjoyable parts of traveling; it is the people not the places which one remembers most fondly.
