Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sending info about granada, continue to surf couches even in my home town. Hopefully, third sunday potlucks

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had no where to put my bags in Madrid for 20 days or so and the airport wouldnät allow it. I sent out about 9 frantic emails on this website, but way too late. It turned out in that very moment, my neighbor's sister was visiting and she was going to Madrid that night and had a couch and place to store my bag. I got a ride to the airport out of it as well. This website is great but sometimes the people that help you out are just right around you.
