Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and exchanging ideas, culture, food and smiles... I had the pleasure of hosting several people in my flat in Ecija in 2014-15; met a great community in Hanoi in the summer of 2014 ... Have met up with some lovely people on more recent trips, too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I joined the couchsurfing meet-ups in Hanoi and met some wonderful people... Then I hosted some wonderful cyclists during my year in Ecija :o) also shared moments with surfers in the Czech Republic, Poland, Uruguay, Brazil, Colombia and Italy.
