COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

when i was living there, I slept in a couch of a one of my friend´s friend´s house, then I found a share room and so.
When I visited some countries in Europe (Denmark, Norway, Poland, German, Italy, Brussels, Spain) most of the places were hostels.

10 years ago in Buenos Aires (arg) i stayed in a couch of a girl I never met but were in the same Insight Seminars, so just some call and that´s all.
