I think it's important to say it in relation to the war in Ukraine -

I am very much against Russian invasion of Ukraine, I condemn the actions of Putin and the Russian government and support Ukraine in the fight against this absurd and cruel aggression.

I have used Couchsurfing a lot, both hosting, surfing and hangouts.

Never had a bad experience, still in touch with some friends I made thanks to CS 10+ years ago.

I have been living abroad since 2011 - went to university in the US, then South America (Colombia and Brazil) for 2 years, Shanghai, China for 2 years and now Seville, Spain for the last 2 years.

I work online and study computer science online as well.

I met tons of people through Couchsurfing and I think every new person widens my knowledge of life and the world as it is.
