Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing and spreading the word… ;-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to CS in Hungary where I had the opportunity to spent a couple of days with some people who showed the city and the whole spirit behind this project. After that day in 2009 until now, Miriam and I had had the opportunity to meet people, places and traditions that otherwise would be much more difficult.

Interests

I would define myself as a curious person. We can have a conversation about how do ants reproduce, as easily as I can talk about politics. I can also forget about all sort of conversations and have a wild party instead…
