COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed four or five cities in México and met with Couchsurfers in others places. I enjoyed sharing my culture with people and learning about theirs (particularly music!). It was great even to just meet other people with whom I was not even staying just because CSers tend to be cool and interesting. Yay COUCHSURFING, haha!

He hecho Couchsurfing en cuatro o cinco ciudades en México y he conocido a otros Couchsurfers en otros sitios. Ha sido buenísimo. Me encanta compartir mi cultura con otros y aprender sobre las suyas (especialmente musica!). Ha sido bueno a conocer a otra gente con quien no me quedaba también porque los CS típicamente son buena onda y interesante. Viva CS!

Teach, Learn, Share

Not judging a book by its cover is harder than many think. It is when you recognize your assumption, take a step back, and try to move forward anew that you can feel confident in making real progress toward being a better world citizen. Oh, I can also teach a little of English slang from the states and Spanish....and some philosophy.

Que no juzgar por las apariencias es màs difìcil que unos piensan. Es cuando reconozca tu suposiciòn, espera un ratito y intenta seguir de nuevo que se puede sentir con confianza que està haciendo progreso hacia siendo mejor ciudadano del mundo. O...y tambièn puedo enseñar un poco de yerga inglesa de los EEUU y español....y filosofìa.
