Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used Couchsurfing in the past in Mexico and had a very good experience. I enjoy meeting other people esp travellers as they bring a special energy with them I have travelled extensively mostly in Asia so I have a special bond with travellers. At this time I am very focused on learning Spanish so I am using couchsurfering as a way of trading a few hours of Spanish lessons per day for a nice couch and some meals in a nice space with mountain views,rooftop terrace and central location. I am open to hosting non Spanish speaking surfers also I am a friendly ,respectful and creative guy who enjoys the company of all friendly,interesting and respectful people who are into the spirit of Couchsurfing .Thanks Gordon
