¡Hola Couchsurfers! Bienvenido a mi perfil.

Es genial si vienes a mi ciudad y buscas a alguien que te aloje. Aunque no tienes tiempo para leer un montón de perfiles si me eliges como tu anfitrión, aquí hay un par de cosas:

1. 👉🔎 Revise la sección MI CASA 🏠 ❗para comprender los arreglos de vivienda y dónde vivo.

2. 👉🔎 Comprenda cómo escribir una buena solicitud de CS (no solo copie y pegue la misma solicitud a 10 o más personas) y cómo funciona CS si es nuevo o relativamente nuevo.

3. ⏩Prefiero que tengas algunas referencias⏪ Hay muchas maneras de hacerlo, incluso si recién estás comenzando, por ejemplo, yendo a eventos de CS.

QUIEN SOY YO?

Me llamo Deb/ Deba y, a veces, como David. :)

Optimista. Blogger. Voluntario. Esposo. Hombre. Y mucho mas que todo, un humano como tu.

Nací en India y me mudé a la hermosa ciudad de Valencia, España muy recientemente. Tomando mi tiempo para aprender sobre la cultura española.

He viajado/vivo/trabajado en América del Sur (Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, Colombia) durante un año y medio y hablo español con fluidez. Casado con un colombiano, y paso la mayor parte de mi tiempo a la deriva entre las culturas india y colombiana.

Hace muchas tiempo, yo vivía en los Estados Unidos. Viví en Utah y Missouri durante un par de años, así que sé un par de cosas sobre los estadounidenses.

Sobre todo, me encanta conocer gente, y definitivamente puedo encontrarme y mostrarte el lugar y compartir historias. Creo que es una de mis cosas favoritas de viajar.

Hello Couchsurfers! Welcome to my profile.

It's great if you are coming to my city and looking for someone who hosts you. Even though you don't have time to read a bunch of profiles if you choose me as your host, here are a couple of things:

1. 👉🔎 Go through the MY HOME 🏠 ❗section to understand the living arrangements and where I live.

2. 👉🔎 Understand how to write a good CS request ( don't just copy-paste the same request to 10 or so people) and how CS works if you are new or relatively new to it.

3. ⏩I prefer that you have some references⏪ There are so many ways to do that even if you are just starting out, for example by going to CS events.

ABOUT ME:

I go by the name Deb/ Deba, and sometimes as David. :)

Easy going. Hard-shell optimist. Blogger and wannabe YouTuber. Volunteer. A human being, just like you.

Born in India and moved to the beautiful city of Valencia, Spain very recently. Taking my time to learn about Spanish culture.

I have traveled/lived/worked in South America ( Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia) for a year and a half, and I speak fluent Spanish. Married to a Colombian, and I spend most of my time drifting between Indian and Colombian cultures.

Many moons ago, I used to live in the USA. Lived in Utah and Missouri for a couple of years, so I know a thing or two about Americans.

Above all, I love to meet people, and I can definitely meet up and show you around, and share stories. I think it is one of my favorite things about travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the world reveals its great colors to you once you open your eyes to see 'em.

In the same light, I open my heart so that I can meet, like and befriend the amazing people there are- with their heart-warming stories about being loved and lost, of light and darkness, of trivial pursuits and wonderful journeys. I usually like a guest to stay for 2/3 nights at least, so that we have a genuine chance to know each other. The same goes when I am trying to surf.

Here is the thing. Couchsurfing is not about saving money. It is much more about meeting locals and learning more about the place you are visiting and each other.

I have hosted 100+ guests till today. While I have not surfed that much, I have done it in several countries with 10+ hosts. So you could say I am someone who has been on both ends of the spectrum.
