Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surf led to a bed and a chance to pay
rent. Was wonderful. I lived with a motley crew in
Dublin, all who had done both hosting and surfing.

Did a good deal of couchsurfing before I knew the site existed...

Went train-surfing recently, uninvited; we carabined ourselves to the top of a corn freighter, and rode through the cool, galloping evening wrapped in our sleeping bags, rum in our bellies, noses wet with pure drops of air.

Interests

Trains. Ocean. Climbing. Road trips. Irish traditional music. Good conversation. Good riffs. Gardening/Farming. Creators. Fuuuuuny people.
