Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i have always taken in strays and see this as a nice tidy way to bring in more. even the drunk driving liverpublians who inexplicably have to leave at 2am....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

post 2014: i havent done couchsurfing in a long time, tired with babies etc but feeling more open again. you can send me a line and it will very occasionally work out...

pre 2014:
my experience has been positive and i see from the map i could couch surf all the way to new zealand..
its the height of summer and i am taking pretty much all the folk coming to inverness. its exhausting telling everyone my accent isnt so strong because my parents are new zealanders. but most people are great so no problem. and i dont want to talk about loch ness anymore...please...not again.
