CURRENT MISSION

Couchsurfing for the first time - can't wait!

ABOUT ME

I love new people and places, and I'm very easy to get on with, I've travelled a lot around the world and am always inspired by people's hospitality. I am new to couchsurfing after being recommended it by a very good friend, it's such an amazing idea, i can't wait to get home and start hosting!

PHILOSOPHY

A stranger's just a friend you haven't met!

After years of socialising and travelling, and with the beauty of sites lke this and facebook, the world has become a wonderfully attainable place. From the mud huts of the tribes of Southern Ethiopia to the long houses of the islands off Borneo, I have stayed in some amazing places, and remain in touch with the special people I have met along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first time, so very excited - I have a spare room back in London (pics in folder 'My place') and more than happy to host once I am back there, this is such a great concept, I have always met amazing people travelling, and stayed all over the world, and remained in touch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This weekend will be my first time, so I'm really excited about starting my new couchsurfing life. I have sent a donation, but wont be verified until the postcard arrives - probably while I'm in NY!
