Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I've never done it! but my roommates and I have welcomed a guest on our couch for a few months now and it's been such a wonderful experience of cultural exchange and sharing. I also have such gratitude for the many friends who have hosted me on their couch in my life. I recently read an amazing book called Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer where she explained that in her Potawatomi culture she was taught that giving a gift is not a transaction, but a commitment to building a relationship. I love that and it has really helped me to be intentional about not just what I give but also how and why I give. and vice versa as the receiver of gifts.
