Why I’m on Couchsurfing

learnin' n growin', still.. My most memorable experiences through travel is with the locals in their homes. I am sure enough a yocal, local and enjoy sharing my experiences, stories and home. It's kinda like teaching- I know the subject, but when time to host, do that homework and then you finds things you didn't know before.I guess they call that enrichment.
