Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far not much. But hope to meet & greet people wishing to discover Britain's 2nd biggest city, Birmingham (my home).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only one so far... Weekend in Pisa staying with Lorenzo 'The Tranquil Man'. A wonderful experience. Lorenzo welcomed me & friend Paul aka 'Monkey Boy' into his home, & shared his local sights & sounds with us. Martina also from CouchSurfing, took us cycling around the countryside of Pisa. A wonderful weekend & the perfect way to first experience CouchSurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

treat everyone as would want to be treated. listen to people, you'll be amazed at what you just may learn. share happy stories, you learn & share more in one hour taking it in turns to tell happy stories, than you can learn in months with someone just moaning about the weather!
