Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few times now and everyone so far has been great.

I've made some good friends through hosting and had the luck to have the favour returned while discovering places I'd never have thought about before!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mainly hosting, all in Aberdeen so far.

Interests

I like things unexpected and random. Open to new ideas.

• beer
• rugby
• languages
• football
• ramen
• formula 1

Music, Movies, and Books
