How to couch Surf by Gpat

"I had the most amazing, mind opening, heart touching experience of my life. "

How I did it: I had my first couchsurfing experience in Chile this summer. I had never met any other couch surfers and I had just joined the site probably 3 weeks before I met up with my surfer in La Serena. CouchSurfing is by far one of the best sites for travelers that are seeking the road less traveled, looking to save some money, wanting to meet locals, and looking to experience more than just the touristy crap. Thats like what? Killing 4 birds with one stone? If you are an open minded traveler or just a friendly person who is willing to open their doors to other travelers you should totally join couchsurfing! I can't wait to visit Chile again to see the great friends I've made down there, and to meet new couchsurfers! And if any of you guys are in Alanta, hit me up!

Lessons & tips: Be sure to read the references that others people wrote about them so you can get an idea of what they are like. You should probably send a few emails back and forth before expecting to stay at someone's place. Keep your mind and options open!!!

    I want to couch surf with someone 2 months ago

    Couchsurfing is a website where people from all over the world offer up a free sleeping spots in their homes for random people who either dont have money or just want to make new friends. It is something that I have been wanting to do for a while. To be able to just randomly be invited into someones home for a night or two and experience something new if always worth a try

    I’ve heard a little bit about this, though I don’t know entirely how it works. I would like to go on a random trip and couch surf where ever that trip ends up being. I am not sure how safe this is, but it sounds like an exciting experience.

    Set up a profile sometime ago, but still have not done this. Maybe on the upcoming road trip. I told my friend about it and how we should do it. She seems a little skeptical, but I told her we have to try it at least once.

    I now feel like I have two new friends in this soon-to-be-my-hometown. we had so much in common, which was such an unexpected and sweet surprise. I went trail running with m., yoga soup with j. and spent lots of time relaxing and hanging out. we hope to meet up again this summer, either when they come up to the bay area, or when I go back down.
