Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Used to host people most weeks in my student house in Oxford. Unfortunately, i'm back in with the rents so that's no longer possible. Currently travelling in the Americas and hoping to get to know CS from the surfing side of the fence.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Numerous worldly encounters. Am totally convinced by the CS idea - would recommend it to anyone.

Interests

All sorts really. Tom Waits and hiking; Joni Mitchell and sailing; Norwegian Jazz and camping; Fishing (v. badly) and Carlsberg.
Currently in an singing phase too.

I once saw an otter.
Also, while hitching on the autoroute in France, I saw a car's wheel come off. Pretty messy.
