Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love travelling, meeting new people and learning about new cultures... I love to host too, and show people around.. I have a single room but also an extra mattress so two people is possible. I also travel myself A LOT so I'm sorry if I can't host because I'm away on the dates you request.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not enough... loved staying with people in UK, Barcelona, Riga...
