Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've got stories! Lots of stories!

I started really couch surfing in 2012 when I travelled around the world for a year visiting 31 countries doing a great deal of couch surfing and the travel bug has never left me. My parents infused in me a strong notion of the importance of travel as the best form of education from a very young age and it turns out the people you meet is the most special aspect of discovering new places.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about cultures that are different from mine, how people live differently than me and how I can learn from them to better my life. I can share history, local going-ons, culinary delights, secret getaways and popular ecotourism destinations all within the island. Where to go, what to do there and why it's awesome, and all that good stuff.
/
Quiero aprender sobre culturas que son diferentes a la mía, cómo las personas viven de manera diferente a mí y cómo puedo aprender de ellas para mejorar mi vida. Puedo compartir historia, las actividades locales, las delicias culinarias, las escapadas secretas y los destinos populares de ecoturismo, todo dentro de la isla. A dónde ir, qué hacer allí y por qué es increíble, y todas esas cosas buenas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love telling stories about my travels, about my work in the film industry, about time and space and energy and flowers and food and languages and everything in between.

And even though I love talk (a lot), I'm a REALLY good listener. Exchanging life stories and cultures is what couch surfing is all about, and my favorite part of travel in general.
/
Me encanta contar historias sobre mis viajes, sobre mi trabajo en la industria del cine, sobre el tiempo y el espacio y la energía y las flores y la comida y los idiomas y todo lo que hay entre medio.

Y aunque me encanta hablar (mucho), soy una oyente REALMENTE buena. Intercambiar historias de vida y culturas es de lo que se trata el couchsurfing, y ​​mi parte favorita de los viajes en general.
