Couchsurfing is a great way to improve your English. I've been doing it since 2009, have met so many amazing people and got to perfect my communication skills beyond believe.
Studying English is necessary but living it, it's a must to boost your confidence.
Couchsurfing allows you the share quality time with people you haven't met before and that usually don't speak Spanish.
Things you get when you couchsurf that you don't get in a hotel:
The rattling sound of pots and silverware in the morning. Bathrooms with ratty, beloved mismatched towels. Leftover birthday cake. Dark hallways humid with the smells of baking. Looking at the weird stuff people keep in their medicine cabinets. Cats to pat, who are at first standoffish then decide they love you at 4 a.m., when you're finally asleep. Walls of Elvis plates. The recaptured feeling of havind a sleepover party. Dodgy electric blankets. A chance to try on hats. Morning coffee in a wineglass for lack of enough cups.
Children of all ages and temperaments who draw pictures for you. The ability to make your own toast. Record players. Out-of-tune pianos and other strange instruments to fondle. Candles stuck to mantelpieces. The beautiful vision of strangers in their pijamas. Weird teas from around the world. Pinball machines. Pet spiders.Latches that don't quite work. Glow-in.the-dark things on the ceiling.
Late-night and early-morning stories about love, death, hardship and heartbreak.
The collision of life. Art for the blender.
The dots connecting.
Amanda Palmer. The art of asking.
