I'm Older and LOVE CS I do look first to make sure I'm not going to be sleeping on the floor or on the floor on an air mattress. If the airmattress is off the floor I'm good to go. I stay with young and old alike. I host more young than old but have had a great time CS as a matter of fact I'm CS now doing a petsitting stint within the CS community. I think she trusted me more cuze I was older..

Hi all!
We are 50+ and welcome you to our home in Delhi. I know exactly what you're talking about. Can't use linen that's already been used by 'N' number of Couch surfers before me. Cannot use a dirty bathroom but can cook for you, keep my space clean, help around the house and am very interested in listening to your life stories and hear you talk about your culture. So please don't hesitate to couch surf with us when in India. You won't need to sleep on the floor or use dirty linen or bathroom.
Cheers!
Meera.

Hi Mia. In your profile you say that Cambodia is on your list of..Want to visit. My son has lived there for a number of years. If you do visit at a later date I am sure as a C/S member he will try to help.

Hi Mia, My son lives in Cambodia too, he has backpacker hotel on Koh Rong off the coast of Sihanoukville and I visit as often as finance will allow. I always fly to Bangkok, then, again depending on finances, I either fly to Phnom Penh and bus it from there or get the bus all the way. I absolutely love it and no matter how many times I make the journey, it always feels like a big adventure! I'll be there in December, let me know when you are ready to go, maybe we could meet up. Best regards Dawn

Hi Anita,

Thanks very much for the invitation. My destinations are set for the foreseeable with my son in Cambodia and family and friends still in England. I had so many plans to travel but now all my resources are concentrated on the aforementioned. However, I am at home to visitors and thoroughly enjoy the company of couchsurfing ladies of my own generation. I extend the invitation back. :-) Dawn
