Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people,learning from others is what I'm all about. That's why I want to couchsurf.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm wanting to make some friends along the way, and I am happy to do housework and chip in cost wise for any host.

I have learnt how important it is to make my host happy and comfortable with my presence. I've found that food and being helpful with chores is the best way to do this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:

I have been couch surfing on and off since 2014.
