PHILOSOPHY

Positive Thoughts Bring Positive things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been trying to get more active in couchsurfing madrid. I hosted last year a few times in malaga and currently would like to go to more gatherings. I love showing people around and I have started surfing! The few experiences I've had surfing and hosted have been amazing. I love learning and talking to people from different walks of life. I hope that this year I will be able to continue!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had the pleasure of hosting much but have had some amazing hosts. About three years ago, I traveled with a few friends to Jordan, Israel, and Palestine and almost exclusively couch surfed around. We met amazing people from different walks of life who opened their homes and hearts to us. I really enjoyed these experiences!
