Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been enjoying meeting people through the weekly meetings here in Lille and getting to talk to people from all over the globe.

I've also attended meetings in other cities that I have visited and have met us with loads of people for drinks/coffee through CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far officially couchsurf'd in Rennes (France), Tromso (Norway), Riga (Latvia), Prague (Czech), Munich (Germany) and Amsterdam (Holland).

Interests

I love films and photography. I've been growing more and more into photography lately. I hope to travel more and make new memories.I love cooking, though I wish I was a little better/more experienced at it. I'm an avid biker and i'm always up for a ride.
