Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Have been a member of couch surfing now for I think for over 10 years, & the now defunct the Hospitality club for ten or more years ,

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

very positive, I have now been a member for almost 10 years and met fantastic , interesting and really hospitable people in all the locations I have travelled in , everyone I have met has been most hospitable,

Although this year after covid 2022, I have been very disappointed by the lack of response from members who don't even have the courtesy to send a reply, it seems the spirit of travellers & traveling seems to have dissipated and taken on something else
