Would live to meet some people to show us around their town and show us the sights. Can't host as on the road at the moment but hope that this will change when we relocate back to the UK.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. My housemate Rachel has told me about her positive experiences so I'm hopeful for the future.
