Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I came to study in The Netherlands I have had the opportunity to meet people from all the continents in just one classroom!! And being almost all my life in Ecuador, this experience was just amazing for me! So one classmate recommended me HC hospitality club and the CS. For me the CS project is more than a couch and a safe place to arrive, is the interesting issue to talk and share with the local CS, and now I am here, willing to discover the culture and the normal life of the people, this is the most important gift of being part of CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

since 2008 in CS: El Cairo, Cannes, Nice, New York, Washington, Budapest, Vienna, Prague,Slovakia

since 2007 in HC: Luxemburgo, Spain, Germany, Italy

the amazing Pyramids night show with my friend Haytham
when i start crying :))due to the emotion. The confidence of Salvatore and his wife in Napoles to give me the key (this was the 1st time i travel by HC). The great spirit of Lorelei and Patrick in Nice, the roller skates with french wine at Cannes with JD. ...The interesting conversations with Lucas in Vienna...The hospitality of Gerd and the Russian professor that he hosts in Vienna, what a dinner!...Dancing salsa in Prague with a Czech girl Ivanna!..The amazing couple that host me in Washington DC...

My first time skiing!...in Slovakia with a very international mix group of couchsurfers was definitely a life experience! thanks Esther for for giving me the opportunity to join!...
