Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think is an amazing way to travel , to meet interesting people ... to make easier the life of others. Hosting people is a very good way to meet interesting people from other cultures. Until now I have reveived at home more people than I have requested, and I have to say that my guests were amazing and very interesting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in England( Anne in Bristol and Ines in London) and I was very delighted with the experience. And I hosted people as well ,from Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Denmark, Russia, Croatia, France ...

Interests

I love dancing. I practice Contact improvisation, Contemporary Dance, Tango, and collaborate in artistic projects. I usually organize activities related to body consciousness, dance, not only with my students but also with adults and mature people. Sharing dinners with good wine with my friends is one of the best moments of the week, talking about life, politics or whatever.
