Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
we've all been to europe and done our fair share of hotel/hostel hopping as well as staying with locals. we find that staying with people is a much more enriching and interesting experience both for the hosts and the guests, so we hope to develop more of these kinds of relationships through couchsurfing
