One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most touching couchsurf experience was in barcelona where a young argentinian couple hosted us. They had a super small flat and where kinda living at the edge. Despite the hard times and the limited space the had, the still where very joyful and generous with us. That impressed me a lot.
