Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have had a number of people both whom i have known and not known open their homes to me, and it is always wonderful to get to know a new person, where they are coming from (literally and metaphorically). sometimes it brings a tear to my eye to experience such generosity. in turn, i love to offer others a new and genuine experience and a little piece of my world.

I am also willing to host! but I changed my profile because I kept getting last minute requests from people, and also I travel a lot for fun and work, and kept having to turn people down. I'd prefer to be a "yes" person! and offer a place when it is possible for me to do so.
