About Me

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined couchsurfing in June 2010 and have had some incredible experiences with people from all the corners of the globe. Hosting lets see my city through new eyes all the time and surfing has added a completely new dimension to travelling. Surfing with a good host beats any five star hotel hands down.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some amazing surfing and hosting experiences over the past four years. We've cycled through Soweto, went caving, trail running, cheered during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and enjoyed many interesting conversations and excellent meals together. It's changed the way I travel.
