ABOUT ME
I'm incredibly easy going. I'm not a planner and prefer to be spontaneous. I eat and drink almost anything expect meat and love to try new dishes and cuisines.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpe Diem!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURF PHILOSOPHY:
Couchsurfing is not a way to travel for free. It's a way to know a place by knowing the local people living there... Becoming friends, building a relationship and anyway getting to know them. If you need a cheap accomodation you better look for a cheap youth hostel. So, if instead you want to use Couchsurfing through it's real spirit...
Suggestion: when asking for an accomodation, please read the profile of your "possible" host carefully.
Please read the references left by others. Please send a personal message, do not copy and paste the same message to all the people you are asking hospitality, and, most of all, try to contact them and build a "connection" in advance, it makes everything easier.
I personally don't like receiving mass-emails, it makes me feel one of many!!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted couple of people. It was fine, then I went abroad, travelled many countries, wrote a hundred messages to couchsurfers.
95% of them even didn't bother to write back, remaining 5% said they were busy.
Update 2013 - things become little better - 80% of them even didn't bother to write back, remaining 18% said they were busy, 2% accept me - Things become better!!!!
