About Me

ABOUT ME

Ah travel!I love it.Such a big world, so much to see and do. I love listening to and learning from peoples travel adventures .
I wish CS was around when I was younger, would have definitely traveled more
We have hosted exchange students in the past and have a forever revolving door with family and friends staying often. I love having a house full of life.

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around. what you put into this world will will be returned to you. I feel too much time is lost thinking as I have been guilty of that myself. Follow your dreams cause thats what you should do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By paying it forward. Helping out fellow travellers with a couch and friendship.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed with some amazing people. Everyone that hosted us were wonderful! Had some great adventures and learnt so much more about the world. The generosity and care that is passed on through couchsurfing is wonderful. I remember my grandparents in the 70s picking up travellers and giving them a bed, food and showing them the sites of our home town and so it is very humbling for me to be continuing in their footsteps and I can see why they loved it so much.
The world out there is truly a wonderful place especially when you get the privilege to travel with couchsurfing.
