Today we talk about couch surfing, an inexpensive way to meet new and original places and new people.
What is couch surfing
born as non-profit organization that consists of a network of travelers. Any member can offer their homes to accommodate travelers and can go home in turn to people's houses.
How do I register?
Just go to the website dedicated to couchsufing and join.
Registration is deliberately "cumbersome". done while online, but ends just by sending a postcard "physical" address provided by an applicant State. The card contains a code that serves to make the last checks on user-supplied data.
It 's free?
Obviously it's all free, because this is the spirit that moves "couchsurfer", except for a symbolic fee to be paid at registration in order to deter those who are not really motivated, but mainly for security reasons (the user name associated with your credit card).
E 'safe?
Yes, in my opinion is a secure
Each person provides their data, but the most important thing is that everyone expresses their opinion on the hosts based on their experience, creating a "rating" absolutely reliable.
course, if those who seek hospitality has 30 reviews, all positive, we will be more confident to say ok to the request ;-)
And before we can accept read all the information on their profile, and see if its interests, schedules, habits are compatible with ours or not. And decide accordingly.
if I subscribe, I am forced to live with?
No, absolutely not! I have enrolled in a long time and I have not hosted anyone (not just because there is was the occasion, despite having received a dozen requests). This did not stop me going though a guest, and it was a wonderful experience! Not only! If being a guest in someone's home is not for you, for "n" reasons, you can only contact a person to make you all to guide the city you're visiting!
Where can I go?
Everywhere! Members are more than one million, scattered all over the world! You'll be spoiled for choice!
Can I travel with?
Yes, of course! You can ask for shelter for ourselves and for those traveling with us. It is then up the guest to decide whether to accept our request, according to their particular space availability.
Finally, couchsurfing is a new way to travel original, cheap and modern!
allows you to enter immediately into the spirit of the place, through contact with the people who inhabit it.
And you know who, like us, plays the trip as an experience of knowledge of places, but most of people, cultures, customs and languages.
try it!
the next
