Why I’m on Couchsurfing

ES 🇧🇴
He estado usando AirBnB y la experiencia fue muy buena, pero , en mis viajes, he conocido personas que usaban couchsurfing y fueron más abiertos para compartir momentos y experiencias. Además, mis viajes me dieron momentos memorables no solo gracias a los lugares que he visitado, sino también gracias a las personas que he conocido en el camino. Por ello y mucho más, quiero devolver todas esas buena vibras y buenos momentos que he recibido en mis viajes a todo viajero que pase por mi casa o a todo host que me quiera recibir en la suya. También amo la historia, la cultura y los idiomas, y couchsurfing es definitivamente esa comunidad llena de esa gente que contribuye y enriquece esos intereses.

EN 🇬🇧
I have been using AirBnB and the experience was very good, but, in my travels, I have met people who used couchsurfing and they were more open to share moments and experiences. Also, my travels gave me memorable moments not only thanks to the places that I have visited, but also thanks to the people I met along the way. For this and much more, I want to give back all those good vibes and good moments that I have received in my travels to every traveler who wants me as their host or to any host who wants to receive me in their home. I also love history, culture and languages, and couchsurfing is definitely the community full of those people who contribute and enrich those interests.
