Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently as a couchsurfer, when I got back from my travels I hope to find an apartment in Amsterdam and host people who travel in The Netherlands.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Good good good! I prefer hostels in Central America, but in the USA it's really nice to couchsurf, because most cities are sooo big and couchsurfing allows to go to original places together with your host rather than the famous touristic places from your Lonely Planet...and you learn a lot about cultural differences!

Interests

I like to spend time with family and friends, make long walks in nature/ at the beach, visiting concerts of artists who can really sing and perform, funparks, reading books, doing parlor games (especially card games), but also just relaxing and watching television programs. My faith in God is an important part of my life.

Besides, I have worked in a company that helps teenagers(/pupils) with their homework (content, organization, motivation) in forms of classes after school time, individual supports at home, exam trainings, etc. Very satisfactory work! I stopped working there in July 2012 to have time to make a 2.5 month trip to Nicaragua and a 2 month trip to the US.
