HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Right now I really don't :( I live on a yacht for my work and can't have people to stay but still hope to use couchsurfing as a way to meet people until I can get back into it properly! Previously though I was surfing, hosting, meeting and just enjoying... Also trying to expand the Gladstone Region CS community - join the group for updates :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I surfed my way through Europe in 2009 with my partner and decided after just our first experience we never ever ever want to stay in hostels again! I then hosted when possible back in Australia.

I like lots of things! But my favourites are usually based around real people. I think the best thing I've ever seen has to be the "McConkey" movie, but I'm also a huge fan of anything by Seb Montaz, especially following the frenchies :) Hmmm same with books too... Into the wild, Steph Davis' books and yeh kinda sticking to the theme!
