Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and staying are both great holidays

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hitchhiking and couchsurfing avant la lettre in Spain and Morocco in the eighties. I rediscovered the joy of staying with strangers cycling through Germany with Dachgeber, a thirty year old couchsurfing organisation. In 2014 I emersed my self for three weeks in London, staying with different hosts, whom I have so many good memories to!
Since a couple of years I live alone and I enjoy so much hosting people now and then.

Interests

I am trying to learn Portuguese but my Spanish is in the way. Which only makes it more fun of course.
I like listening to music from all over the world, especially popular music, and reading, very much.
