Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I registered at couchsurfing.org, used to take the time to update my profile....! And my availability. It gets old fast.
Used it for the first time when I received some Polish sisters that were visiting Granada just for a day. I did not have too much space at that time, just a sofa and space on the floor to spare. They finally slept in my bedroom because I did not mind sleeping with my friend, so they were more comfortable. One slept on the bed, the other one on the floor with sleeping bag.
Next time I used it I was going to Luxembourg for professional reasons. I was staying there for a few days and found a Portuguese host that was really kind and had a room for hosts. I left a thank you note on this website and so did the people that stayed with me because, I guess, they were happy with the experience.
Couchsurfing is a great network of peolple that can support you while traveling or help others hosting/introducing them in your local area-

Interests

My hobbies are cycling, swimming, reading, sharing/dancing music with people, excursions in the nature, any sport really, giving a hand in the community, painting, going to interesting talk-storytelling-conferences, star-staring, having a drink with friends... Grew up in the south of Spain where we cultivate the street culture very much, I like a summer night breeze more than anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing a one-foot width path with the mountain wall falling appart, a big backpack and a cliff on the other side. Once accomplished, I put down my pants and shitted right away. That is when I knew what fear and cold sweat meant, hahaha ; )

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can contribute on things that matter to me: healthy and yummy cooking, a good conversation (enjoy both listening and sharing), translating into EN, FR & SP , gardening, running errands around the local community, crafts/painting/mural painting around the house for decorative reasons, putting thoughts into writing. I have a positive attitude, so we can discuss anything I may not have listed here if need be provided my integrity is not undermined.
