Actually I been hosted in friends houses or friends of friends. I perfer it but its also nice to meet new people in CS.

My fist time been hosted I was one night in Pisa and I was travelling with two more people.

The other was in Milan and it was really great experience... I've been doing an intership of a week in the Politecnico di Milano with the Athens Programme and I was hosted by three people of CS and a Erasmus friend...was really nice experience! All the people I met was very friendly and we shared a lot of things.

Im very grateful for that.

México open my heart, even people that dont have nothing at home, just let US to have a place to sleep. Was a symbol of hospitalary and wonderful people.

Thanks for all!!
