Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a member since 2010. I have hosted (before I was even familiar with the site) and I have surfed . I like it because you get the chance to be part of someone's world. Such a fantastic way to re-affirm your faith in the fabulousness of people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS presented itself to me on a cycle home on a typical rainy Irish afternoon. There was a traffic accident on a city street that grabbed my attention. I got talking to a backpack carrying Italian who had no where to stay that night. He came back to our college house and cooked us his Grans mushroom risotto and introduced me to this site.

Interests

Education,fitness,Spanish,laughing,cycling around a new city. A good story,pizza,people watching, live acts (music, standup comedy)meditation, playing sports without keeping score.Checking out all sorts of art.
