Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot, and for a couple of years ago, I'm promoting my country and my company's products in Europe and now the United States, encouraging people from different countries to know Colombia, and in particular the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia, a site recently included in the world heritage list of UNESCO. I like this website, for the best of traveling is to share with people in every city and not being alone in a hotel while I am traveling.
