ABOUT ME

Dutch blooded, French footed, English minded photographer.

PHILOSOPHY

So It Goes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couch surfing I'm afraid (although I've had a profile on it for maybe ten years, I've never had the occasion to use it and forgotten my log in, so I'm starting over again) so please forgive the lack of friends, quotes and all the other vouched-for business. I am not a loony freak, do not worry.

I've been meaning to get into the couch surfing community for a while but have unfortunately been caught up in the London rat race for the last seven years of my life.. But London is far away now and here I am

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had none so far but so many friends have vouched for it. The best experience I've heard is of a friend of mine who was 'couch surfing' in a cave in Spain with a trumpet player (or was it a sax?)
