Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I invited people to stay over at my swanky pad in Managua Nicaragua even though I had no extra towels. I tried taking advantage of Couchsurfer in Bolivia but my hosts always seemed to be making border runs to renew their visas.

Por ahora invite a la gente a mi departamento en Managua aunqe no tenia toallas extras. Intente Couchsurfer en Bolivia pero me parece que mis anfitriones siempre estaba haciendo recorridos fronterizos para renovar sus visas.
