Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I can only meet people coming to Edinburgh who also have kids, It would be great to hear from people travelling with little ones!

I hosted a few different of people when I was living in Glasgow.. we always had a great time. Since then I've surfed with people over Europe... It has been really interesting and I've met some really special people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met up with people for drinks in Istanbul, and have stayed with people in Spain, Turkey, Paris & Sicily. Have had some funny times and made new friends, have been taken to hot springs and lots of other adventures..
