About Me

Happy to help people out with a free place to stay during their travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Why hosting and surfing, of course.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my fateful stay in Sweden many years ago I met these ladies in Sweden who had been travelling via CouchSurfing through Europe and they had nothing but good things to say. Since then I've surfed a little and hosted a little but I suppose I'm still a bit of a newbie to Couchsurfing.
