Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host a lot because it is great to see the smile on people's faces when they realize this thing actually works. We also love to learn the stories of a place and surfers are a great motivation to keep learning those stories. I have surfed quite a bit but it's my partner's first trip surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All positive.

Todo positivo

Interests

Walking, chatting, cooking, experiencing...
Senderismo, Conversación, cucinar, vivir...
Randonner, placoter, cousiner, vivre...

I also love to take part in osmosis of ideas because that helps people to gather the courage to explore their dreams... and maybe even realize them.
