Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm here aren't I? ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Enjoying the wonderful snow ball effect it has had on my life. One person has led me to another and so on. Here's a perfect example; CS hosts I have stayed with in Denmark invited me to their house party upon my next visit there. That's where I met Lola. She told me she was going to do a semester in my home town this comming fall. I Offered to help her find a place and show her around when she arrived. Well now, she will be living with me for those 4 months. That's how CS has been for me, a door opening after another. Pretty cool way to travel if you ask me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let me think about this one, wouldn't want to bore you.
oh ya...lavender essential oil is the best thing for burns, just put it directly on the burn as soon as you can and repeat till the pain goes away. (for sun burns, mix a 1 or 2 drops in with pure aloe) It's also great for mosquito bite or to help you relax to sleep mode. I always travel with a bottle on me, that and Tea tree oil for cuts.
