Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i just wrıte to random people, have a look at their couch info and location and try not to pre-judge who my chosen hosts should be based too much on what they say...I stay with whoever replies and says yes...............I know that some people won't like that idea, but I don't like the idea of forming an artificial idea of couchsurfers based on what limited profile information which will invariably tell you very little about them as a person, their attitudes and bla bla bla bla.......et....etc!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I need to tally it up properly, but id guess ive now surfer oround 100 times in perhaps 30 plus countries!.....so i rekon ive got the hang of it and what makes a good couchsurfer...what makes a bad one...id like to think im a good surfer and a good host. I havent had to chance to host as much as ive surfed and so when I get a new place with space, im planning on being one of those 'obsessive' hosters we have all met, and trying to balance out my numbers.
