Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I participate with meetings in the different cities I visited, all the big cities have great meetings and different places for example in Belo Horizonte the famous building called Malleta, In Rio copacabana beach, Montevideo the old city and Buenos Aires Plaza Serrano. Now that I am at home I am hosting visitors that are interested to know a little bit about Ibagué. I've been surfing for almost 6 months in Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. When I was abroad I used to help some Couchsurfers and show them the local places even that it wasn't my homeland COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE The experience has been great, there in Brazil with people of Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro,In colombia i've surfed in Bogotá and in Uruguay Montevideo and Colonia Del Sacramento. they are very friendly and they r always trying to help me here.
