Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

have been hosting for about 12years now but not for the last 2-3years.no bad experiences so far. surfed for 1st time in october 2010 when visiting brazil...i think couchsurfing is such a fabulous concept. in sao paulo they have weekly couchsurfing gatherings at local bar we ought to havd that here in barbados.
a wonderful global community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
up to now all our guests seemed to have enjoyed their stay and i have no complaints...so far so good. as our couch/studio is a semi-detached space, you can come and go as you please. i've just quit my night job so may have more time to take you on a tour, possibly to go snorkeling or on hike or a quick drink. a morning cup of fresh coffee or tea and you may be one of the few that actually gets a home cooked meal.
