Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've traveled a lot and couchsurfed a bit. Now I have my own couch, and I live in York! So I guess it's time for me to give back. Come stay with me maybe? I'm going to start slowly, because even as a host I'm sure I can't get on with everyone.

I have an air mattress and a spare duvet, but not heaps of floor space. The couch might be easier. We'll figure it out.

I also have a good kitchen, and like to cook. So if you're into cooking, maybe we could do some together?

I work a lot now I'm an academic, so hosting people through couchsurfing is a great way to meet non-accas.

Come visit York. It's super twee and has nice pubs.
