ABOUT MY DECREASING TRUST IN COUCHSURFING

Today, the 4th of February 2015, that's it, I'm done with Couchsurfing and their new website which is only made for Smartphone and Facebook users. I don't have Facebook and proud of it, and my cell phone doesn't cost a thousand €.
Well well well, I've only 80 references but I'm not someone you can trust for CS because I didn't pay the 20$ :). And because I'm not "verified", they are polluting my profile with some crap ads...
In reaction, I host in priority people asking for a couch on BeWelcome and please send couch request there:

UPDATE 2018 : new bullshits on couchsurfing: I traveled Germany recently and I sent some requests, of course. But as a "non-verified dodgy guy" they let me only 10 fuckin' requests (that I used for the 1st town :) ). This is ridiculous and fucking dangerous 'cause sometimes u NEED to join people. This site is getting worse to worse and they're doing everything they can to make fucking money (It's 50 dollars to be verified now), which is the contrary of a traveler website...

SO PEOPLE I GONNA HOST IN PRIORITY NON-VERIFIED TRAVELERS

ABOUT ME

My friends could be better in answering this question, but let's try! I'd say I'm honest, modest, respectful and the kind of guy who don't have much stuffs but who can share the few he has. I also love to chat and laugh with everyone (even when I'm late!!!) ...

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem!!! Time is running so fast that it's now or never!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing thing i did, is for sure, the 9 months i spent in Cork City (Ireland). In 2005, my ex-girlfriend and I went by car overthere with nothing and we started a kind of new life. I was really hard at the beginning, but only good memories stay!
