我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I would like to assist by being a friend and showing people my city from a local's point of view. Sharing an impression of the city different to a tourist itinerary. Providing somewhere to sleep and use as a base for several days/nights. I am placed close to a Shopping Mall away from the hustle and bustle of Central City. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE This is my 1st involvement with Couch Surfing, although I have always provided accommodation, meals and a place to rest for friends and visitors where ever I have lived. For 13 years I lived in the countryside, away from the city and my city friends used spend their holidays at my country cottage. Now my country friends sometimes spend the night with me when they come to the city.

我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
Surviving a near fatal motor accident in 1970, where I was given less than 3 months to live and told that I would never walk again. Once out of hospital after a coma and surgery for TBI, I was employed as a Railways Electrician for 17 years before accident related medical problems ended my working life. Despite my age, health and being unable to work since 1987, I still manage to do all of my own shopping, cooking, laundry, gardening and most of my housework unaided.
