Throughout history,travelershave been held in an extremely high regard around the world.
Best of all, they were typically well taken care of.
Hotels line highways with ample parking and big neon lights, but all cost money.
It’s travelling in the traditional sense, and it’s extremely rewarding.
It doesn’t have to be.
To get started all you oughta do is create a profile.
Be honest, express who you are and what you’re looking for.
If you’re sincere, people will be kind.
This will give people an idea of whether or not you’d be an ideal host for them.
Hosting
To me, hosting is the best part of CouchSurfing.
Once your profile is up you’re expressing your availability to host others.
But hosting is a great way to make friends so I’d highly recommend it.
Additionally, people are less likely to host you if you’ve never hosted before yourself.
What you provide for your travelers is really up to you.
You’re not obligated to provide food, though most guests really appreciate it.
What the average couch surfer is looking for though, is knowledge.
Share those things with them and you’ll have happy couch surfers.
Travelling
Planning your journey with Couchsurfing is easy.
When you request to surf someone’s couch you’ll send them a message.
This will say when you’d like to stay with them, and when you will be arriving.
But don’t leave it at that.
Say what you’d like to learn and what you’d like to teach.
The main reason Couchsurfing is safe is the number of references surfers leave each other.
Yes, people could leave fake references, but those are typically easy to spot.
Use your web savvy and you’ll be okay.
The second security measure is verification.
