Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

love hosting and meeting people from all over the world... love also cooking all sorts of cuisine so will try to make a nice meal for peeps, and try out recipes from around the world... i was born and bred in tunbridge wells and know the area quite well, so i can show you around and also introduce you to local people!!!... tunbridge wells also has convenient access to public transport to local areas including london and brighton, a train to london from here is roughly £12, and the buses to brighton are about £6 [i think]...

Music, Movies, and Books

i have recently been into watching a lot of movies which i have accumulated a collection of over 1000... i think the majority of my music tastes are from the late 90's and earlier... i like books that has lots of pictures in them, for example garfield!!!...
