COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted loads of people while I was living in Faro, Portugal. Lived there for 6 months, doing Erasmus. I also stayed as a couch surfer in two houses: one in Sweden, another in Norway. The hosts were really nice and kind. I am looking forward to meeting again my Couchsurfing friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm in CouchSurfing for few years and I had some experiences, which were great, with guests of mine and of my roommates. I also enjoyed a lot when I stayed in Oslo and Stockholm. It was really good to share information about my culture and to learn about theirs. The oportunity of making new friends is worthy! It was rewarding to see people having a good time at my place.
