Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member of couchsurfing since 2007 and like to use it as a way to meet local people and get to know the real culture of a country. I am currently travelling around South America at the moment so looking for people to host me, once I get back to Sydney I will hopefully be able to return the favour to the couchsurfing community ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My Main experience was around Europe while I was living in London. I am yet to have an official Couchsurfing experience here in South America.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching movies, open to all types except anything too violent or graphic. Especially comedies, documentaries.

Would like to read more, need to find a good book - any suggestions welcome.

Music - a bit of everything really, house, Dub - Fat Freddys Drop, The Black Seeds, Regina Spector, Manu Chao, Of Monsters and men, Cat Empire, Faithless, Tracey Chapman, Morcheeba - my musical taste is very mixed!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While I was living in London I travelled to Morocco & rode out into the Sahara on a camel and stayed a night out there in Berber tents - fascinating!! Travelling in Argentina has been an fantastic experience also, trekking on Perito Moreno Glaciar was amazing... Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, Macchu Picchu BLEW my mind. ALL of Ecuador, fabulous country and people.

Looking forward to adding to this list from my experiences in Colombia!
