Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For a while I only surfed, but while living in Chicago last year I was able to host and I really enjoyed it. In January I went to Colombia and met a lot of amazing people, and I even got to have a reunion with Colombian couchsurfers I hosted in Chicago.

Por un rato solo viajado, pero cuando vivé en Chicago el año pasado podía hospedar y estaba divertido. Por el enero, fui a Colombia yo conocé muchas personas fantasticas. Tuve suerte y aun les vi nuevamente en Colombia algunas personas quienes quedaron en mi casa en Chicago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm, well for one, Couchsurf is fairly amazing. Meeting strangers on a basis exchange of generosity and trust, quite a novel thing =)

Pues, Couchsurf es bastante chévere; para encontrar extraños con una base de generosidad y confianza, es una cosa novedosa.

Teach, Learn, Share
