Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed in Thailand twice.. great times great hosts.. and am available to be surfed.I love showing off parts of Adelaide surrounds that many wouldnt get to see.. Meeting new people is always good fun .. I know the Hills, The River Kangaroo Island, Barossa Valley Reasonably well..and all are easily accessed..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Early 2012 went to Cambodia and Vietnam ... had some great times wish I knew some couches to surf..especially in Nha Trang during the Tet Holiday..finding a place wasnt easy.. but it was a fun experience.November 2012 I took my 17yr old daughter to Thailand Nth and sth .. great times..
Have hosted a few young surfers in recent months and so far its been very enriching..
in July Aug Sep 2015 I couchsurfed through Germany, Czeck Republic, Italy, France, and Slovenia.. UK,.. caught up with so many other Couchsurfers who all gave me the greatest times.
