Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

have couchsurfers stay on my couch, show them around portland, make new friends and treat them the way I'd want to be treated if I was visiting them

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i love the ability to make contact with people who KNOW the area you are visiting and to make new friends no matter where or who you are.
its an amazing way to see the world through a different lens
