Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

[This response is from 2016]
Originally, I have always stayed with friends or booked a room in hostels. Until that one time in Glasgow, all hostels were booked out and I didn't know a single soul there, so I frantically turned to couch surfing. I was blown away by the idea of meeting a complete stranger and forming a connection with them by chance. In the end, I learned so much about the city, culture, and the host who I stayed with. All of my experiences were unusually positive, except that bittersweet feeling of leaving and knowing I'll probably never see that person again.

Intereses

I just graduated. That's it. I am finally free. It is so good to be back on this website because I know it means I am in traveling mode again. I look forward to meeting you all, truly.

My response back in 2016:
"Anyhow, I decided to travel solo to find out what "you should at least travel once in your lifetime" really meant. So far, it all boils down to my willingness to look like a loser from time to time and I'm having a blast. Seriously."

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Every stay is different, I like the unknown when it comes to couchsurfing and I can never predict what my host(s) will learn from me or the other way around.
