Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel and see local people. It's better than buying touring tickets and seeing the big sights. Even though I wouldn't mind seeing landmarks, i think i'd enjoy a friendly conversation and just people watching as well. when I have a place to live I try to host and when I travel I would like to surf.

It boggles me sometimes, that this community is all about 'kindness of strangers,' experiencing different locations and seeing it's natives, also a chance for a safe place to sleep during a long journey... yet people are very picky about who they are hosting or where theyre surfing. The experience will come when someone host you and have a conversation, or a random travelor needs a place to stay and you can offer up even the floor of a heated house. Yet, for some, they expect a bond of gratitude and eternal friendship, you will have that, once u offer someone a chance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at two different CS host members, one in Chicago,IL and one in Columbus, OH. It was a very good experience as my hostS were very nice and friendly. They showed us the city and took us to many different bars and sites. I hosted two German females while I was in Florida, 2010. They gave me very good German cookies ! It was worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

sometimes in the most unexpected place, you receive kindness from strangers and it just makes the world seems like a better place. everytime im in the woods and get to see the stars, it reminds me of how insignificant i am. one tiny cosmic speck compared to the brightly burning star millions of miles away, whose life is seen by the whole galaxy.
