Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having ridden my now 50 year-old motorbike (Honda CB750K2) from Belfast, S Africa to Belfast, N Ireland, I am now visiting all the places called Belfast – all 20 of them – in Canada and the US. (My blog will be at www.belfast2belfastbybike.com).

My first couchsurfing attempt led to such an amazing month in Saudi Arabia, how could I not keep at it?

Couchsurfing: For now? A great way to avoid many one night stops on my own.”
