Saturday Night Live!

On Saturday, 17 October ’15 I learned something about CouchSurfing that my grandfather, Jose Guerrero Perez’ eldest brother Rosendo had said about taking medication a century ago:

If one is good, two is better!

That night the electric CouchSurfers Elena (Poland) and Antonio, Isnaya & Fabio (Italy) were wrapping up their visit to my home, and the dynamic travelers Stefanie & Zeinab (Sonthofen, Germany) and Lara (Valencia, Spain) were beginning theirs. It was a magical night as everyone delighted in meeting each other. Stefanie and Zeinab shared so many smiles over Antonio and Fabio’s antics, and Lara and Isnaya shared such a wonderful conversation.

I thought I’d never have more than 8 CouchSurfers in my home at the same time, but last night there were 12. As my great-uncle Rosendo might have said if he’d lived to see the advent of CouchSurfing,

If one is good, twelve is better!
