Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just surfing at the moment ! Unable to host due to a very small cold London flat!
Trying to attend meetings, offer advice and chat to people about travelling offer tips for travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been lucky enough to have friends in all the places I have visited in New Zealand so haven't used couch surfing there. I hosted a friend Barbara after meeting her on the Milford track in New Zealand and she suggested I give this a go once I start travelling.

I have surfed throughout Canada, the USA, Europe so far.
Highlights would be staying in a beautiful 18th century villa and watching the sunrise from the roof and seeing a black bear up close and personal with CS friends i met in Quebec. Going to a Liverpool football match with my host in Birmingham and having a proper english breakfast the next day. Making a kiwi dinner for a lovely Belgium family in Dendermonde.
In France having a house party hosted by a le cordon bleu chef and tasting french delicacies. In Liverpool staying with a some cool spanish girls and exploring the city together. Many more to come.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped out with a volunteer project by All Hands in Nepal building schools after the 2015 earthquake. I wouldn't say I was amazing to do it- but the organisation and the results were amazing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im a happy, easy going woman, interest in the human body and fitness as a physiotherapist I'm happy to help with advice and some treatment if i can!
