Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends, trade knowledge and live a fuller life, all around the world. Couchsurfing[.com] represents one of few online platforms that eventually bring people together face to face in the commendable mission of cultural exchange, education, generosity and friendship; why not participate?

Lastly, it is my belief that when you become too uncomfortable to share a sofa/too drawn to unnecessary luxury and too paranoid to trust a stranger that you have become old and boring in a modern, global society. If you can find clean linen and kind company in a foreign location, you would be a fool to stay anywhere else.

Hacer nuevos amigos, intercambiar conocimientos y vivir una vida más plena, en todo el mundo. Couchsurfing [.com] representa una de las pocas plataformas en línea que eventualmente unen a la gente cara a cara en la encomiable misión de intercambio cultural, educación, generosidad y amistad; ¿Por qué no participar?

Por último, es mi creencia que cuando te sientes demasiado incómodo para compartir un sofá / demasiado atraídos por el lujo innecesario y demasiado paranoico para confiar en un extraño que te has convertido en viejo y aburrido en una sociedad moderna y global. Si puedes encontrar ropa limpia y compañía tipo en un lugar extranjero, que sería un tonto para alojarse en ningún otro sitio.
