Adventures in Sevilla (and Couch Surfing)

Almost everyone who has considered going abroad has heard of this website called couchsurfing.org.  The general concept is that people open up their houses to people travelling.  The best thing about it is it is FREE.  Yes, you heard right free. You just find someone online, tell them about yourself and see if they will be around to host you.  As scary as this may seem, doing this in Sevilla was the best decision I could have made.  What better way to explore a city than with people who live in and love the city.

I stayed with a girl named Rachel who took to me all of the best places.  Not necessarily the most touristy places but authentic Spanish restaurants and areas that I never would have found otherwise.

We spent 3 hours at this restaurant trying different tapas and wines.

The most delicious sweet wine!

Spain had a Eurocup game.  We were able to watch it outside at the Metropol Parasol.

Spain of course won :) It was so exciting to be watching the game with the Spanish people and being in a new city with new friends.

Couch Surfing was one of the best decisions I have made abroad so far.  I had a great time, met some fun and interesting people, and had a once in a life time experience in a beautiful city.

Chao!
