COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My wife and I want to use this to travel the world and meet people as we go. She's a Kiwi, I'm British, so there's always a lot of travelling involved!! We now have our own home and hope to meet some lovely people in our travels round the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When we travel we want to experience life as it's lived by locals. The tent gets it's fair use, but who doesn't want a nice bed from time to time.
