Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Come explore the world though another person's perspective.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My household has always had an open door policy, we even used to pick people off the streets after nightclub downstairs closed- you know those poor people who couldn't make their way home..we've all been there or seen people there. Anyway of all those couch surfers I guess you'd call them we have never had a bad experience and sometimes we were treated to bard performance or a circus performance.

Teach, Learn, Share

Seed saving and growing things, pilates techniques, though I am just beginning. If language is your thing then English. (Teensy bit passionate about science...so is everyone you just don't know it yet) I have taught quite a few people how to cycle and how to swim and now I think we should get creative and just invent something
