HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I like hosting and surfing. Listening to other travellers stories and sharing my own with them. To get a taste of local life when I travel and to share mine with travellers. Above all I enjoy meeting new people! I generally only accept surfers who have hosted themselves. For me, couch surfing is about having local experiences while I'm travelling but also about giving back to travellers whenever I can. I like to host people who have the same outlook and not just for their own selfish gain. So, If you have many great references from hosts but none from guests, your chances of staying with me are pretty low. But I do sometimes host travellers with no references as I know how hard it can be starting out. Send me a request and lets chat! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Have done some hosting and done a bit of surfing. Met some very interesting people.

I've quit a job I was unhappy with, packed up and travelled abroad...Twice!! First time was for 18 months to India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Argentina and Chile. The second time was for 8 months to Norway (including Svalbard), Ireland, Germany and Myanmar.
