Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been told of Couchsurfing in 2006 when I was living in Spain. Since that day, I hosted people and have been hosted as well. Always had nice experiences and good talks. Some friends and colleagues of mine think that I'm crazy doing that (hosting and surfing) but I really believe in the spirit of the network, that's why I'm still here 7 years later.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of mine told me about couchsurfing when I was living in Spain in 2006. Since then I'm an addicted person to this community and really enjoy the company of all the surfers who came home and of all those who have hosted me.
I work full time so I have a busy schedule on week days. For that reason it is better for me to host during week end.

Interests

I love everything's different from where I grew up, it means, world music, cultural dance, languages, travel to new countries, and to eat typical meal from where I end up or from where people I'm hanging out with are from. In fact, I'm willing for about everything's new.
I am also a sportive person. I do dragon boat competition for now 6 years. If you don't know what's dragon boat, take a look on youtube! And i started doing kitesurfing 2 years ago and now trying to jump as high as possible :)
