Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to use couchsurfing as a way to meet new people. I love to share stories, art, songs, conversation. Its so much better than being alone in some generic hotel. I am traveling so much for work and leisure that I haven't been able to host any couchsurfers at my own home, but when I finally settle some place I plan to open up my couch to travelers like me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've experienced CS only in the US so far but would love to meet and stay with some people during my UK/ireland travels

Interests

renaissance painting, folk music, traveling, sci-fi movies, i honestly love learning. Lately I've been collecting English folk songs and sea shanties as well as old time fiddle tunes and irish fiddle tunes. I'm ALWAYS down to see some old paintings at a museum.
