Couchsurfing was a key element in my last trip. I could do it because since the beginning I knew I would trust in the good faith from Couchsurfers. I only have words of thankfulness. I always think back of each and every person (and place) I met. Yes, to me Couchsurfing is all about people and places.
It is crazy how Couchsurfing works. Can “regular” people understand it?
When flying back home, next to me, there was Jonathan, a French guy travelling to Argentina. At the beginning of the conversation he said:
“Do you know CS?” “Yes, of course I do”, I replied with a smile.
I am glad to help old, new and future Couchsurfers. Couchsurfing is all about being good people. Treat others the way you want to be treated. I always suggest CS to do it “both ways”. If you are more of a Couchsurfing host, please host, at least once. To couch surf is like putting a mirror to your own life, culture, place and customs.
Be careful! You run the risk of liking someone or somewhere more than you should.
You run the risk of opening up and talk about things you never imagined yourself talking to a “stranger”. Couchsurfing is about basic stuff for travelers: a bed, a shower, maybe some food, maybe Wi Fi. It´s an “I will show you around”. It´s a “go this way” or “don´t miss this place”.
“Couchsurfing” as a word is not enough. How can I forget the help, the company, the good advices, the long talks, walks, drinks and /or food that I shared?
I am writing this because I want to spread the word. ¡Gracias! Köszi! Grazie! Danke! Obrigada! Hvala! Merci! Thank you!
