Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first encounter with couchsurfing was in early 70's as a toddler. Dad was a tour bus driver in the 70's and a regular parade of people stayed with us from when I was a toddler. I have been to a christening, witnessed a divorce, a cot death & a marriage of people who stayed on mum and dads couch since that time.
We have hosted couchsurfers for 10 years and do this to expose our children to different cultures and people. If you would like to stay with our big noisey family that usually involves the kids friends staying here please keep this in mind and participate in our family life. Join in help out and we will do our best to give you a good experience. We also live in a rural area with no public transport so if you are backpacking and want to explore or go out during the day you will need your own transport.
