ABOUT ME

I'm 30, from Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Obviously I love to travel and get fully immersed into the culture, which is one of my reasons for joining CS as I believe it's important to see the world from the point of view of the locals as well as the tourists!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only officially hosted 2 cs'ers but it was fun, it's like travelling in your own town because you get to share travel stories with your guest and parade around the town like you're a tourist seeing everything for the first time!!

I've hosted people I've met whilst travelling and friends of friends from distant lands. I consider myself an excellent host, I love to take the time to teach people about my town, meet my friends and show them a good time!
