Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've lived in shared/communal housees for years and so there's always beens a steady stream of visitors, friends of housemates, couchsurfers, touring bands, etc.

started doing 'proper' couchsurfing a a few years ago on and off. Have stayed with people all over the place and had plenty come to us in Bristol where I lived before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've met so many amazing people on journeys, both from couchsurfing and by other random ways. I've got close friends that I've had for more than 10 years now that I met travelling around Europe. There's lots of mountains and scenic train journeys and quirky cafes and stuff like that too see when you're travelling, but nothing beats making a friend.
