Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´ve been living in Bahia for over a year now photographing, teaching English and learning Portuguese. My partner and I run a free walking tour of hidden, non-touristy parts of the Historic Centre (facebook.com/SalvadorFWT). Every week we meet lots of CSers through the tour.
