Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Back in London after some fun times in South America. I know many parts of this fine old town so get in touch if you'd like to walk, talk, eat, drink or stay for a night or two.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only a couple of encounters, both very positive, both in Peru. One meeting was with a tour guide C-surfer in Huaraz for a coffee and chat about walking in the mountains. The other was with a great girl called Rocio in Lima, who I stayed and hung out with for a while. I met her family, boyfriend's family and all their dogs! As a first experience, it showed what a great concept CS is and how well it works.

Interests

I love, in no particular order.....
Music - live gigs, making it, in the car, at home etc.
Eating/drinking - other peoples creations, my own creations, old favourites, new flavours..
Talking - about everything.. banal, serious, surreal, stoopid, profound, life, afterlife. All of it!
