Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf the couch when I'm free to travel and also enjoy meeting up with locals to chat and explore new places. I host and meet up with couchsurfers as much as possible when I’m at home, mostly during vacation periods.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed in Stockholm and Copenhagen a few summer’s ago. I have hosted a number of couchsurfers in my flat in Bath over the last few years. Last Summer I explored central Europe and met up a number of couchsurfers in Budapest. All my couchsurfing experiences have been very enjoyable and I have been lucky enough to meet some fantastic and passionate people.
