so can you tell us about couchsurfing
couchsurfing is a way for um for
travelers to meet locals in a place that
they’re going it’s a way for you to find
some free accommodation but also to make
some great friends in a new city and to
learn about a culture that you otherwise
never would have learnt about so are you
actually staying on someone’s couch many
people offer just a couch some people
offer a spare room some people offer
just a space in the backyard that
picture tents can be anything where can
you do couchsurfing couchsurfing has
about 600,000 members spread in 226
different countries provinces and
regions how safe is it staying with a
stranger it’s as safe as you make it
couchsurfing offers three safety
features as well as a backup member
disputes team we have our verification
system we use credit cards to verify you
are who you say you are
there’s referencing systems where you
leave good reference for somebody or a
bad reference depending on when you met
them and then the last one is trusted
members can leave a vouch if they think
you’re trusted then they can leave a
vouch for you and everything goes from
there so how do you go about choosing a
hub well the first part is to go to
where you want to go where you’re
traveling you search from that area and
you’re given a list of the profiles with
some small data there you can then look
through a person’s profile you go
through maybe five or six before you
find somebody who you think you can be
friends with and then you send them an
email
hi I’m coming to town I’m going to be
here if you’re free can we hang out
maybe I can stay on your couch so is it
free the whole point of couchsurfing is
that it’s hospitality not not monetary
it’s all given free of free of anything
so do you have any tips for someone who
wants to embark on their first
couchsurfing experience
spend some time to fill your profile out
so that people know who you are and then
some time to really go through other
people’s profiles and figure out you
know some cool people that you want to
hang out with and once you’re there
you know just treat it as a good friend
how do you find out about couchsurfing
well the best place to go would be WWF

you can contact us if you have any
questions
