CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, have great experiences while meeting new people who I can learn more about the world from

ABOUT ME

I'm a very easy going, open minded person with a curiosity for different people and places. I work to live rather than live to work and love to socialise.

I'm thoughtful and considerate and believe in treating people as I would want to be treated by others. I have (imo) a good sense of humour and love to have a laugh

PHILOSOPHY

I like to keep an open mind about different people, places and cultures. For me it's important to discover other ways of life and couch surfing is a great way of gaining a real insight into other people's way of life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
