Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

i heard about couchsurfing 7 years ago but i didn't start using it until 2020 and wow i absolutely LOVE it! i've met so many incredible people through CS and i can't wait to have my own space to be able to host others all the time!!!

Intereses

I love geography, flags, riddles, public transit, and reading. I want to learn some of the local language everywhere I travel.

I also love playing card games and board games with friends. For the past 6 years, I've hosted a game night every week, with about 300 total participants being involved. We always had great discussions afterwards that would last until late at night.
