Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard great things about couch surfing and it seems like a really interesting way to get to know different cities and cultures with the people who are living there. For this reason, I would love to try couch surfing in order to meet locals and share my travel experiences with others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Five years ago, I went away on a two week charity trip to El Salvador. It was an amazing experience and would have loved to stay for longer. I made great friends on the trip and the cultural experience was unforgettable. It was hard work as we were helping a family build their house in the scorching sun however despite the sun and the language barrier we still had a rewarding teo weeks and became very close with the family involved. Since this trip, I have become keen on travelling and I hope to return to that part of the world after I finish my studies next year, and especially after spending a year in Spain I know the language barrier won't be a problem anymore.
