One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I live and i am alive. This is fantastic.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First, I am super social when I travel. I talk with whomever I'm sitting next to on the bus. I chat with vendors. I banter with people while waiting for a train. I ask for directions even when I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going. The more people you talk to, the more people learn about your journey, the more likely that someone will say, "Hey, if you don't have a place to stay, why don't you stay at my home?"

I think, i am social person and i would like to share.
