Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am part of an organisation to raise funds for the building of a new school,
partly responsible for finding children, administration, and finding clothes making sure it is fair and democratic and all people are represented...also i will be teaching English for 5 months in the school. I have other projects, writing to raise awareness for protection of the environment and local interests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Last night i stayed at a friends in Thamel (Nepal) who saved me a long walk home...very nice :)
I the past people have slept on my sofa for weeks at a time sharing food and bills and lots of fun ;).
Now in Nepal i am dependent on my new and beautiful family to provide a home for me to live and I will at any time return the favor; if i ever make it back home. :)
