Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING To be available as and when if possible. *Please note that I usually need 1-2 weeks' notice in order to host.* I realise that surfers who have similar interests and rhythms to me usually work best when I am hosting. I like walking around the city in the late afternoon/evening. I like to go out to eat in the evenings (not every evening). If you are ready to go out salsa dancing that is also a bonus (not essential) as sometimes I come back late. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Very positive so far.
