Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the CS is a good chance to help people to know more places. I have received here plenty of people before beeind a member of CS, but now I hope there will be more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been in Lyon, La Paz, Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, Oslo, London, Krakow, Zagreb, Beldrade, Nuremberg, Brno and Budapest and in Colombia (Barranquilla) using CS. And I met so nice people that we continue in contact, the best of CF is that I have now nice friends in other countries
