Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have friends who coachsurf all the time. When I was 18yo I enjoyed chatting with guests at Casa Roja in Cholula, a friend's house.

I have had a coachsurfuing account for almost 10 years but have been very inactive. I lived for seven years with my cousin and my aunt's apartment in Mexico City and they did not allow Coachsurfing :( could not convince them. Then I lived abroad twice, first at a university dorm and then at a house of the organization I worked with, so I could not host as well.

When I have my own place I will be able to host, just like my friends do :)
