Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have 2 guest rooms in the house. I rent them and a granny cottage in summer as a B&B but i still receive couch surfers when there is no bookings. You can also camp in the garden. The region is full of Roman churches, beautiful houses, delicious oysters, long beaches, many festivals in summer ... A bit rainy in winter but there is a fire place. But it is much easier if you have transport (bike or car). COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Received a lovely lady who was following a workshop near by; A couple of Slovenians bikers, a Spanish lady, a cycler going around Europe.... and many more It has been each time a very nice experience and a lovely exchange. I made some new friends in Iceland and some other places. This network is really wonderful.
