hi there,
回覆刪除i would like to listen more on the couch surfing stuff. I'm currently studying in UK. However, i would like to do some couch-surf to around UK or even europe. Can i get more information from u, like how u start it?
Hi!Vhoe:
回覆刪除Im so happy,u are my first comment!
N im sorry that didn't notice ur message b4.
I started to do couchsurfing since this year August,so until now i practice it 6 months already.
Why i started to do it,cuz i want to save money on travel.Then one day i saw 943
this girl's travel blog(i set her link in my travel link No.2,u could take a look,she is a very smart girl,n she know how to save money on travel very well.),n another Taiwanese girl's article in one travel book,they both talked about couchsurfing.
Then i think i must use the same way to travel,cuz it really can save a lot of money,n know more about other countries culture.
I still show u 943's article link in here,it's exactly talk about how to do couchsurfing,i also look her articles to start to it.
http://blog.xuite.net/iq943/ez37/14691724
U could check it out!
N a little bit ways to do,i tell u in here:
1.Don't be affraid about sending requests to other couchsurfers,normally i have to send 10-20 message,then can find 1 host.
2.It takes time to get replies,so better do it two weeks-three weeks ago(i usually do it 2 weeks ago..a little bit lazy)
3.If really can't find anyone answer,then i will join emergency group,to send last mins request there.(It works one time for me.)Or,ask exhost.(I did 2 times in London)
4.Another way to find further hosts is go to couchsurfing meeting.
U could join the destination's group,then u could see news what other people do there,sometimes some people will post message inviting anyone else to go somewhere or coffee tea,it's one way to be friend with more people,n find host.
(i had ever met one girl from China,she went to this kind of meeting very often,then one day her local friend helped her find a job in Oslo...Im not sure it is legal,but good that she can stay there longer.)
N...couchsurf meeting normally in bar,u dont have to prepare money,u cold just go inside the place talk with anyone,(if u dont want to buy any drink.)
As i know,the couchsurf meeting in London is every Tuesday in one bar near Holborn,n usually over 50 people there.
So,if u want to know more about couchsurfing stuff,or meet new friends,u could go next time.
5.Find a good host skill mostly like 943 said in her blog,find some people who already have some good references will be better n safe.
(even just two references,it's better then nothing!)But,of course,if have many then is even better.
N..i also will check who login recently.(It means they will answer more quickly.)
6.Until now,i have 38 hosts already,around Europe,all from different countries,n i have to say,i really learned a lot from all of them.
(Cuz,they all have different life,different jobs,different country habits,.....)
I will keep do it more!N i wont regret!
Wish u good luck!
Any detail u want to know,then send message to me again:)
