Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm working on integrating couchsurfing into my life. I've been talking on the site for some time and I've loved the idea since I learned about it. I am now trying to do as much couchsurfing as humanly possible.

I've also met couchsurfers in Zurich, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dortmund, London, Utila, Antigua, Cancun, Merida, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, Bariloche, Concepción, Santiago, Oklahoma City and several other cities.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm happy to exchange English practice for Spanish practice. I am happy to share my thoughts about various cultures including my native culture.
