I moved to Spain a year ago with no knowledge of Spanish. So far, I'm still struggling with how fast Spanish people speak, but always have faith in myself! Not being a night owl. I love staring my day with sunshine, a jog along beach and a seaside brunch. First impression matters to me. I received many random messages which people don’t even bother to put my name. I see Couchsurfing as an exchange, not as free accommodation. I’m not a selfless or “super generous” person, and for me it’s important that goodwill goes both ways. That’s why I really value exchanges of skills or time, for example: – if you sent a car, helping me practice driving – teaching me photography and taking nice photos of me – some basic boxing training Me gusta Couchsurfing como un intercambio, no como un alojamiento gratuito. No soy una persona desinteresada ni “súper generosa”, y para mí es importante que la buena voluntad sea mutua. Por eso valoro mucho los intercambios de habilidades o de tiempo, por ejemplo: – ayudarme a practicar la conducción llevándome en coche – enseñarme fotografía y hacerme fotos bonitas – darme algunas nociones de boxeo – si eres hablante nativo de español, darme clases de español, ayudarme a practicar y corregirme
