About Me

Hi guys ! I am rebuilding my house so I would really appreciate some help for fixing things ,masonry , electricity etc...

#Recommendations of Madrid in the Bottom#

BEFORE YOU WRITE ME ... PLEASE READ IT

“Mucha gente pequeña, en lugares pequeños, haciendo cosas pequeñas, pueden cambiar el mundo”
"Se el cambio que quieras ver en los demás"
"La puerta de tu jaula puede ser que esté abierta"

I PROBABLY WILL NOT HOST YOU IF :

* You only want to sleep by free
* You only host a only gender of people
* You don't host and you only are hosted
* You don't host people because of their nationality
* Your copy paste request is a really low quality without personal information
* You think this is a hostel where the people don't buy soap or don't clean or don't clean or don't cook

EXTRA INFORMATION -
Couch sourfing don't pay embassador people, why we do it is a long topic conversation : )

( Here some tips for helping you for finding host )

HOW COUCHSURFING WORKS

* If somebody is going to accept you in his or her home, probabbly this person will want to know what things you have in common or not, for enjoying
a good time together. So for that its really convenient to speak about some reference or some interesting point of your possible future host, common music,
common trips, or just curious about why do you prefer something, or just speak about something nice of her/his profile.... This begin to think that
you are working in the future convivence and how joyfull could be : ) . SO check his/her profile in detail : )
If not, if you do just a typical easy "copy-paste" could be a good reason for denying to you.
A good idea could be :
Introducing yourself, where are you from, why you are in spain,etc ... (you can write directly : This is copy paste )
Speak about you want to be hosted by you (you can write directly: I read your profile and now I will tell you why i would like that you host me : ) )

* This is not a hostel, so you have to think what could you offer to the future host for interchanging the time with him/her and her/his time .
Maybe its good a idea offer a gift, making a dinner, or some souvenir from your country ... You can offer clean the kitchen, or to help in something...
I dont know this is free style : ) Just imagine what would you like to receive from somebody who is your guest :).

* FurtherMore if you have not reference, normally the people dont trust so much, so you can open your cs recently and just try to meet with somebody, in
some cs event and try to ask for some personal reference ... Its not necesary to host or to be the guest from somebody, but at least your future guest or host
will have more information from a third person about how you are.

* By last, try to ask for 2 or 3 night like maximum, later maybe both (host and guest) could be confortable together and maybe the extra daysof hosting
just come up automatically : )

* Remember, nobody pays us, there are not close rules , we are people , just think how would you like that your guest were , how would you like to live this experience...

I hope these tips were usefull for you : )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

EveryTime i did it , i spent a really nice time and you always learn from the other people ... its great¡
I think that the best way of to know a country ... to meet the people from it, speak about their custom,tradition , their feelings, about the trips, speak about the other point of view , the food of each country .... I think that to share all these experiences is amazing , without forgetting laughts and big beers or glass or wine ; ) ...
To learn from the people when they travel is absolutely nice ...
