ABOUT ME

Through Couchsurfing I have unfortunately discovered the latent desire to never work and to always travel, of languages, and that the personality of a place is taught best by the people whose couches you sleep on there.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Last year we travelled to Belarus and met people from CS every single day, sleeping on floors and visiting bars - even the most closed countries in the world are open on Couchsurfing.

Spent a few days with a fantastic Host in Bilbao, Spain and discovered the unexpected generosity of this community - more than the places he showed me and the people I met on that journey, the fact that he was willing to show me them was the most shocking and thought-provoking part of the experience.

And then in California, LA and San Francisco I came across a pair of hosts who were willing to look well past the fact that I was only 19, to treat me as a person and not as a student or as a traveller or as a teenager. They opened their homes, lifestyles and personalities to me and let me take what I needed.
