Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was in London I went to group meets and met some cool/interesting travellers for meals and market exploring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've spent a good deal of time sleeping on couches and had all sorts of folk stay on mine.

Growing up my family used to host language students and then some of those students went home and then came back to stay with us again bringing their friends and partners...

The people/friends I've lived with over the years are generally eccentric creative types and we've often had friends of friends, touring musicians and the likes crashing in the living room.

I've stayed on Jon's couch in Sandvika, Leo's couch in Copenhagen, and Magda's in Edinburgh. I've had some great times with some of the girls I met at a vege CS CS meet-ups in London and also met up for coffee and market expeditions with some really interesting locals and travellers whilst in London.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to weave a necklace using fine silver wire however it would take a bit of organising to suss out materials...

I could show you how to make some yum vege food...

I'm always up for learning new things if opportunity arises.
