Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've got a spare room at my place, which is a great location for visitors. I thought that right now is a good time to host some people, in the hope I can call on the same when I next travel. :)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Oh, I saved someone from drowning once. That was a pretty weird experience, but pretty amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
Um , I play the mandolin so I guess I can teach people how to play it?
