Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

my place is beautiful and i'll do my best to make you feel at home and to show you the places i love in my city (and if i can, even in my country)these lyrics from the song, "qualsevol nit pot sortir el sol", by Jaume Sisa, illustrates what I think about hospitality (in catalan):"oh! benvinguts! passeu, passeu,de les tristors en farem fum. que casa meva és casa vostra si és que hi ha ... cases d´algú."
