Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most of my community in Barcelona I met through couchsurfing, and I hosted and have been hosted.

Thank you very much to the wonderful people in the following places who have shared their couches with me: Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Sardinia, Kyoto, Kobe, Brno, Girona, Lyon and Nevada City. I will never forget those memories, they stand out in my mind as highlights of my trips. Also thank you to the CS community of Barcelona for being so active, fun, and welcoming. Many of you have gone on to be my best friends and Barcelona wouldn't have been the same without you!
