Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a handful of surfers at my house in Adelaide, Australia and am now backpacking through Europe myself. I have stayed with a handful of hosts throughout the UK, and have only had good experiences either hosting or surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a bit of experience as both a host and surfer. I've been able to couch surf all through the UK and through Italy and Spain, meeting so many amazing people along the way.

Ive hosted with my housemate in Australia, hosting travelers and local folk alike.

Interests

I enjoy riding road bikes, live music (any genre as long as it is GOOD music) and reading.I Spend most of my time hanging out with friends and consider myself a very social person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through Lake Como in Italy was one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. If you ever get a chance to see this wonderful little village, make sure you go!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting people from different backgrounds, wether it be culturally or socially. I firmly believe this is the best way to learn new things and gain a new perspective. By meeting as many new and different people as you can, you can gain insight into ways to improve your own life.
