Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have friends throughout England because I met all my friends here at gigs or busking in the street so a lot of them are people in punk bands that I met when they were on tour and we played a show together so when I go traveling I will often crash on their couches.
I went on a busking tour in the summer of 2011 and when we didn't have anywhere to stay we did some spontaneous couch surfing by going to open mic nights and letting people know we need somewhere to stay and it worked! :)
In August 2013 me and my friend Dan went hitching and busking in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Although we didn't use the couchsurfing site we met loads of amazing people who let us stay in their houses and only had to sleep in our tent twice!
In 2014 I traveled through Spain, Netherlands, Germany and the UK.
