Does /trv/ use this site? I find it intriguing and yet sketchy as fuck. Has anyone had experience with hosting?
I live in Europe and hosted two US girls for two nights. They were really happy and everything worked out fine.
Hosted 2 guys, 2 girls, everyone on seperate occasions. Was fun, would do it more if I wasn't so busy. I keep in touch with two of them.
Also looking forward to couchsurfing myself when I go travelling later this year

I used to use Couchsurfing all the time a few years ago, and I've had nothing but positive experiences. Met some really interesting people, and the sense of having a "friend" in every new city you arrive in is just invaluable. In recent years I've had less opportunity to travel, more money and less social energy; the only reasons why I'm not still using it as my go-to travel resource.
To be clear, you'll have best results if you don't treat it as a source of cheap accommodation, but as a source of local knowledge, expertise and interesting company. Having a place to sleep is a bonus on top of that.
The site has endless legions of freeloaders, French and German people who haven't showered in weeks, gay nudist hosts, and braindead psuedocommie granolaheads but beyond that it's cool

R-really?
been on it since '08, tons of great experiences and awesome people have been had through it
Is it completely free or do I need to tip my hosts?
>>1075286
Just the tip.
I'm on couchsurfing since last year, but never got the possibility to surf or host someone. I have some questions:
Are the hosts as open-minded as you expect them to be?
Do you bring small gifts for your hosts? Do they expect gifts?
How do you secure your valuables - or do you trust your hosts blindly?
Any good or bad experiences worth to be told?
Ever got laid?
Been a host, never a surfer.
If you have disposable income and don't mind hooking randos up, definitely go for it. I stopped mainly because I felt a bit used, I get that it's free travel but we drove people around, emptied our wine rack, did tours, let them use our computers and really made them feel at home.
All we ever got was 20 bucks, a beer, and some chocolates, this is between 10 surfers. I know I know its not about turning a profit, it just felt like we were unappreciated. Also you can only have the same conversations so many times.
The breaking point was getting 2 rude ass Japanese girls who kept calling us up and demanding rides and didn't even do their dishes. We fucking broke our backs and barely got a thank you.
We posted the apartment on airBNB and asked for $150 a night. We already got 5 days booked for the upcoming tourist season :)
I touched my first booby with a someone from Canada and developed a deep and amorous pen pal relationship with someone from germany and met tons of q.t's and awesome fucking people. Just don't be a lame ass and actually do stuff.
>>1075331
What kind of things do hosts want to do with you?
>>1075290
>Are the hosts as open-minded as you >expect them to be?
Depends on the host desu, you'd be surprised how many are
>Do you bring small gifts for your hosts?
This is polite
>Do they expect gifts?
I don't, I'm thankful for them though
>How do you secure your valuables - or >do you trust your hosts blindly?
Intuition, you learn this by travelling and life experience. Learn to trust your gut feeling. All surfers that I hosted trusted me enough to leave their stuff at my place.
>Any good or bad experiences worth to >be told?
Only good so far desu, but the bad expectations usually stem from false expectations, so it's good to be straightforward for both the host and the surfer. If I have stuff to do during hosting, I tell these things beforehand so the surfer knows if I am available to show places or hang around
>Ever got laid?
Nah, since I've only hosted and I don't want to be "that guy". If a qt surfer would show that kind of attention for me, I may let it happen
>>1075290
>ever got laid
People trying to get laid is why CS sucks. I remember trying to find hosts in the UK - I'd message guys with dozens of references, only to check and realize that 95% of their guests were women. When I moved to India, I specifically said that I was happy to host any interesting person, just because I was so sick of the fucking faglords trying to get laid.
>>1074636
> Antarctica: 44 friends
This means 44 surfers (or maybe trolls) in Antarctica... right?
>>1075333
Go on bike tours, cook food, hang out with locals. I lived in a community at the time so it wasn't like they were stuck with me I just always ended up hanging out with them because no one else offered to go biking with the q.t's or bros.
I had an amazing time couch surfing in Montreal and Quebec City. My host in Montreal took us to parties and introduced us to his friends. We played poker, smoked weed, went to breweries...
Another host we contacted said she didn't have room for us but she invited us to a house party - again, lots of alcohol and drugs. In Quebec City we were hosted by a friendly older guy who drove us to some scenic and gave us a tour.
If I had room in my apartment I'd try hosting people. I love showing people around my city and playing tour guide.
deadbeat shit for hippies and losers.
Hosts in top tier tourist cities (London, Rio, NYC, Bangkok, etc) receive multiple requests every day. So it can be very difficult to find a host in one of those places as you're competing with all kinds of exotic 18-25 year old qts
I want to start hosting and have never couchsurfed myself. Any tips in general and on being a good host?
>>1075458
that sounds awesome
>>1074636
I've surfed twice, and hosted some five times-ish. Aside from a very annoying Spanish guy that wanted to stay two days and ended up staying two weeks, I've only had good experiences. The site has been around long enough and have enough security measures in place for creeps to prevail there. Just don't surf with people with no profile information and no reviews and you'll be fine.
>>1075685
bump
>>1076572
Don't flake on people a day before they arrive. Other than that keep the place clean and offer some basic things like tea, a small meal, advice for travelling. You're doing this stuff for free so generally the person being hosted will be grateful for anything you do.
As a general question: How do you guys "repay" the host for their kindness? I always like to share my information with them about my travels and give them advice. I'll also give them something small from my country like a unique candy bar. If that's not an option I'll just buy them a beer before I leave and put it in their fridge with a thank you note.
Don't bother hosting unless you're attractive.
>>1076577
Oh gee, a whole beer and a candy bar. Why don't you make your advice "people from my country are cheap cunts". Maybe if said beer is a 3 litre corked heineken or 5 litre mini keg its alright. But one paltry little domestic beer should be left next to a turd on a dinner plate and a note saying " go fuck yourself "
If some stranger is staying in my guest room for a week the least he can do is get me and the wife drunk, that's what, not even 50 bucks including pizza?
Poorbois backpackers never cease to amaze me

C-cucked.
On another note, Couchsurfing is awesome. Do it.
I've surfed tons but only hosted a handful of times (working on fixing the ratio. Don't worry; I feel shitty about the ratio).
It's an amazing site but I agree with anon that you get the most out of it when you aren't a cheapskate. I generally spend what I would've saved on accommodation on my host(s).
Re sex: I've slept with a bunch of my hosts but wouldn't if I were hosting. Anon is right in saying that this is why the site is fucked. As a surfer, often times I've been preselected/they already find me attractive but because I'm in a position of power, I wouldn't do it if I were the host. For that reason, I tend to accept couples because I also know how much harder it is to find a host when the host knows they can't fuck your gf (or they can Peru cuck lol).
For women, just check the references... If they only host women chances are...
>>1074827
>In recent years I've had less opportunity to travel, more money and less social energy; the only reasons why I'm not still using it as my go-to travel resource
Pretty much this. When I visit a new place, I want to come back to my room and crash and be a little anti-social and have "me" time. It's nice socializing with locals, but with CS it always feels like you have to revolve your activities around your host to varying extents. I don't care enough anymore.
I've used it a dozen times or so, mostly positive experiences (a couple 'meh' neutral) but not since 2012. I've tried after that, but it was too complicated hunting down places to crash, even 4-5 days beforehand. As a single male looking for a couch, I find you're at a distinct disadvantage (even with several reviews).
I just logged into my account for the first time in 2 years and half my former contacts are gone, along with their (and my) references. I guess they've deleted their accounts... :/
>>1076800
Sorry to tell you but youve got cucked hard
>>1076800
man, the best part about this story was the guy made like a dozen subsequent posts trying to explain what happened
I personally hate it. Had mostly mediocre experience. First time I wanted to use it I was ditched last-moment by some gay dude in central Paris and had to find a hostel. Last time I used it I was kicked out by a Danish girl ,living with her family in the countryside, because she didn't like me physically. I didn't do any sexual approach because I was staying at her family's place (and had 3 days there anyway). Also I don't choose hosts because I want to fuck them. In between, I hosted a Polish couple which were great people and a French couple with a silent-as-fuck and ungrateful man and his pregnant gf. I also met this negative Italian guy in Rotterdam who, when I told him the city I'm from, randomly told me how he witnessed some guy killing himself off the highest monument and drinking to forget after.
The few nice people I've met thanks to this site were all in the Netherlands, excluding that Rotterdam guy.
A word of advice: move on to TrustRoots or BeWelcome, they're way better. Also, you cannot leave negative references anymore on the site. You have to read ALL of them. EVERY. SINGLE.ONE.

>>1078579
Just be urself :)
I backpacked through Europe in 2011 and surfed a few couches throughout. Stayed at this gay couples place for a night, it was alright, had a weird conversation about drugs with one of them, he told me about 'poppers' and how you take them when you're having sex and just about to cum, I mentioned them in some kind of conversation to this grill I was talking to later and she was like "Yeah, gay people take them to stretch their assholes when they're cumming" Wut. They left me a reference but I have a bad habit of dropping off the face of the earth with people, they removed it when I didn't reply to it after a few weeks.
This is me and a random qt I met at Mcdonalds, not through CS
I'm an average attractive, twenty three year old, confident and out going host. I live in Seoul and have my own apartment. I get bored sometimes and offer to host people for a few days.
I hosted a few guys at the beginning, but they were all either weird, messy or uncomfortable. Usually I love meeing bros at a bar/party, but these guys were all bad.
So I only host girls now. So far, so good. I've made some incredible friends and one even bought me flights and accomodation, and is offering to take me around the Philippines next month. She's 34, single and rich. Super jackpot.
I have a small apartment, and i have one big floor bed, so I make sure that the guests know this and are okay to sleep next to me.
I usually flirt if the girls flirt back, but i never make a sexual move unless I know they're feeling it. Usually we cuddle if we're cold or I offer to massage them. Next minute, we're fucking.
I always have personal days for my self or if i'm working, and let them travel alone or meet with other surfers. They have full access to my apartment and can come and go whenever. I have nothing really valuable, and i keep my passport and money locked up in a cupboard.
Usually i give them advice and help them plan their day, and meet them at night after work. We usually get dinner, coffee and then go home and watch a movie or explore the city.

I was looking for a host in Denmark, as hostels are expensive (20+ euros per night in a dorm) and it was too cold to sleep outside (end of November). After being rejected (they were all busy )by hosts living in central Copenhagen this girl, living in a farm with her family 25 km away, says I am very welcome (her words) to her place. Tells me how to get there etc. At 10.30 pm her mother and her pick me up. We go home where we talk while drinking a cup of tea. She starts bitching about my environmental habits ("you are going on a plane trip for 4 days? Boo-hoo. I am a long-term traveller, spent 2 months volunteering in Palestine solo bla bla bla"), invites me to go to some political philosophy debate in Copenhagen (I study Politics and the professor came from the uni I was doing Erasmus in. Pretty weird but I'd have been okay with it in the end) and asks me some really WTF personal questions ("what is your passion in life? What do you fight for?" at 11.30 pm, after 2 hours of flying, 2 hours of trains and 1 hour of bus you ask me this?? It can happen to have a purposeless period in your life). After a cigarette I go asleep and we decide together to see what to do tomorrow.
After breakfast, she says I have to go and uses a bunch of excuses I wrote down. These excuses were: I need time to dedicate myself to writing, as soon as I saw you I changed my mind, if I fell in love with you you could have stayed, I don't care about knowing you, I am a difficult person, we have nothing in common. She walks me to the bus station, after I take a shower, gives me a map of Copenhagen and says goodbye. I have never heard from her again, luckily.
>>1078816
I am a weirdo, no problem admitting it. Creepy is utter bullshit though. Read the story above.
>>1078819
I am always myself (other people told me this, not a claim). I am aware we do not know each other so you had to point this out but I've always been myself :)
>>1078940
Sounds like you creeped her out desu
>>1078949
>>1078957
this desu senpai. stop being yourself, you should be able to hold a conversation about your passion in life even with a stranger. and holy shit you're a politics student but her inviting you to a debate is pretty weird? shit blog
>>1078958
What if I do not know what my passion in life is? Do you find it so strange that people have no clue what they want to do with their life??? The more you venture into the world the less you know guys. I don't even wish to have all my answers ready. I still have a lot to see and do to figure that out. After a long day, arriving in a country you've never been in... Like you are seriously asking me why do I live my life? Guys, let's be serious: you wouldn't have been able to answer it either.
>>1078960
She did not make much conversation. I'd guess it is typical but whatever. About my problems... I'm much better than before travelling. At least I've learnt a bit of diplomacy and how not to argue with people.
>>1078957
May I ask you how did you figure this out? How you put it struck me actually. I have argued with a lot of people in my life, I am sometimes not very pleasant to be around but I'm doing my best (also by travelling) to figure out my life and move on.
No matter what, Couchsurfing is still a shitty site. I do not want to read 150 references to figure out if somebody is recommendable or not.
>>1079003
>The more you venture into the world the less you know guys. I don't even wish to have all my answers ready.
Sorry, I've lived on five continents, spent most of my adult life traveling, and I would have no trouble having this conversation with someone. You're autistic.
>>1079006
Good for you. If you found out, though, you should not assume that everyone is like you. I still need to figure out what I want to do, who I want to be and the fundamental existentialist questions in life. I am not autistic though, just a bit troubled and crazy.
>>1078940
To me this sounds like some bullshit SJW leftie you come across everywhere in Scandinavia. They're the kind of people who have done shit all with their lives but think they're so amazing because they got fucked by Arabs for 2 months instead of working after school.
Scandinavian women are the most boring people I came across in my life because they have their heads so far up their assholes they can see daylight.
Don't worry about what all the other folks are writing here, it's mostly trolling, some couchsurfing hosts are just super weird and assholes themselves. This is actually something I hate about couchsurfing, you need to fit a certain mold to match with the average user of that site. If you're not a hippie it might be difficult.

>>1079010
>If you're not a hippie it might be difficult
This. I've used couchsurfing several times (though more in my mid-20s, not really in some years now), and I did often find the hosts were a 'certain type' of person. I could get along with them. I'm well travelled (better than almost all my hosts), well-read, speak three languages, I am pretty funny and a good story teller (no braggo, just things I've been told over and over again IRL), and I play banjo which people find either quirky or somewhat exotic (no poontang though. There's a common joke among banjoists that bassists get their hand, guitarists one girl, drummers three, the singer five girls, but banjo players only get the fat 50-something rednecks that wish they had learned to play banjo when they were younger... which is true.)
Anyway, I always knew the right things to say to keep the peace and make it a pleasant experience, and I did bone a couple girls though it (never my goal), and all my experiences were generally positive. But beneath the surface I always felt like rolling my eyes at the 'philosophy of couchsurfing' nonsense.

Why don't you simply write "German and French"? The absence of personal hygiene goes hand in hand with their nationality.
>>1075402
>95% of their guests were women
This is not evidence of wanting to get laid.
I have a friend who favors girls.
He told me he prefers girls because dudes tend to be ugly and dirty. Even though we both agree the few girls who are dirty are seriously filthy.
I think he got laid a couple of times, but no way he hits on them. He has a nice chat. Takes them out if they want to. Does not pay for drinks. He's a gentleman and a very affable person.
Assuming they want to bed you just because they had a lot of girls around is preposterous. It means:
>you overestimate your attractiveness
>you assume something about a stranger whom you don't know
>you are so focused on getting hit on that you put aside all other possible answers.
It's like saying:
>OMG that GP is full of girls visiting on a daily basis
>This must mean he fucks them or something.
>I'm not going there
Well. Maybe he's just a good doctor. Maybe he's a gynecologist!
So if the female reviewers tell you he is just *that guy* who hits on guests, your worries are okay. But if the sheer percentage of female customers is supposed to be an index of him being dodgy... I am afraid your reasoning abilities are seriously impaired.
>>1075458
>lots of alcohol and drugs.
That's exactly what I'm not looking for in a host.
>>1080534
Nice try. Does your friend also read Playboy for the articles?
If you invite nothing but girls, you blatantly have an agenda. And frankly, trying to increase your chances of getting laid is far more believable than absurd excuses like "boys are dirty and have cooties", especially considering that anyone who's ever had to live with a woman or use a coed bath knows who makes the bigger mess. Whether he rapes the girls or hopes things just happen is irrelevant, the point is the intent behind the invitation is to have sex.

>>1078579
Lol I'm Italian and I hate people from the Netherlands.
You're German or something and love people from the Netherlands.
I see a pattern here.
Anyway, as an Italian living abroad, I start being quite pissed off by the negative and criticizing attitude of my fellow countrymen, who always have to comment on everything and never let it go and keep doing it when under stress and fuck me it's terrible.
Right now I'm hosting this WHV dude from my Uni and o mate... I can see myself the first days in Ausfailia... but just without the enthusiasm for new things.
I know Australia has some issues and shit (as Italy does) but please keep your thoughts for yourself won't ya, dear Itaru-chan?

Welcome to Planet Earth, my dear Teddy-bear faced anon.
The intel you report is something I got acquainted to at high school (not because using it but because talking about it).
People do really live in soap bubbles nowadays.
Or maybe it is just me being 30.
>>1078940
>I was looking for a host in Denmark, as hostels are expensive (20+ euros per night in a dorm)
Man... you're hoplessly dumb.
When I read this:
>>1079003
It reminds me of a (fortunately) short period of my life in which I was behaving like you. Basically I felt threatened by all sort of questions and was takint everything personally.
So there was no way you wouldn't upset me. Because I felt so lonely and threatened I did not want to open myself up and was all thinking: "why do these people want to talk to me?"
>May I ask you how did you figure this out?
I'm not the same guy, but I think these people >>1078957 >>1078958 >>1078960 are a bit quick to judge but are not haters or trolls.
Basically, I has the very same feeling. I don't know what it is that makes me feel it. Is it just the way you write? The mood? The content? Fuck me I'm not even native but I can feel it.
The other thing that interests me is the fact as soon as they described you negatively, you bought it. As if they were confirming your suspicions.
My best suggestion is to stop hating yourself for thinking the thoughts you think. So you will stop feeling the need to keep up with others in the way they do.
I think you reason like this:
>people are so committed to naive ideologies
>I am aware of that and know I shouldn't speak of something without having a good theory and data
>but I feel insecure and do not have such extensive knowledge or commitment
>so I keep my mouth shut and feel entitled to the privilege of not being asked what I think of something
So you demand a lot from yourself. You obviously don't meet your own expectations. So you feel ashamed of yourself. And everybody who randomly touches some of these delicate spots unwillingly makes you ache because you suddenly feel the pressure to meet standards you are unable to meet. And so you shrink back in your cocoon.
>>1079006
>You're autistic.
Not autism.
It's generalized anxiety disorder.
Anons on 4chan use "autist" as a meme... but most of the time they describe somebody suffering from GAD.
>>1079010
I agree with some aspects of this post.
I agree she was a sick hippy girl.
No doubt on that.
But still you don't have to leave in dismay if she kicks you out.
So this post describes the objective situation. Who she was etc.
But I think the storytelling anon's issue is not with hippies per se but with his own feelings of vulnerability.
One thing is leaving and commenting: "WTF hippies are unreliable ROTFL".
Another thing is to keep pondering this for the next couple of days and feeling threatened by their questioning and shit.
Everyone is entitled to his own silence. But I suspect anon is more pissed of by his inability to speak up and tell her off than by his inability to answer specific questions.
>>1079010
>This is actually something I hate about couchsurfing, you need to fit a certain mold to match with the average user of that site. If you're not a hippie it might be difficult.
True regardless of anon's personal story.
Hippie culture can be extremely conservative and they tend to keep clear from people who are not like-minded.
Hippies advertise themselves as open minded people but they are conformist and gretarious (in the negative sense) so are easily pissed off if you do not "fit the type".
This is true not just in couch surfing but life in general. When you are around hippies you can even have a honest conversation but some of them happen to be very judgmental even if they do not vent it out in front of you.
You may even believe you made a friend, just to discover they don't give a shit about you.
They are a very exclusive club. Sometimes you are excluded just because of your dress code or because you don't do weed.
They cannot even imagine I manage to keep my carbon emissions down even if I do not buy clothes from hippie stores. It's just beyond them the idea I can perform better than they do at eco-awareness

All his housemates are girls but he is the main tenant in the contract so he can decide how to use the extra rooms and girls are okay with that.
But he is the one advertising. Not the other housemates (he is allowed to sublet so wtf?).
Nice try but he doesn't have an agenda.
Maybe if he invited dudes the regular sub-tenants (who are girls) would be upset.
Anyway it is undeniable girls have "couch privilege". We should meme this on /pol/.
>>1080566
Moreover, if I may add... I feel safer when it is me the bulkiest human being in the room.
Inviting male strangers can be threatening for a beta like me.
>>1080540
Seems so. Those people are no longer on CS at all, and a couple are IRL friends. I asked and they confirmed they deleted their accounts some months ago...

Got a copy ? screencap?
Anyone else kind of disgusted with couch surfing? I know people who swear by it and I have had good experiences too. But it just seems that 90% of the people on their are chumps looking for sex. Like the gay guy that was getting touchy the last night I was at his place. I rather just pay for a hostel, where I can do what I want and meet lot's of qt's.

Only girls have cooties. It's cootiES (estrogen) not cootiAN (androgen).

I was a few weeks into growing a beard while traveling. My beard doesn't connect around my mouth as you can see in the pic, it fucking sucks. I've gone off even growing one now. This is what it looked like at about 6 months.
>>1080797
dude that looks fine...
>>1080797
Allah Akbar, my brother. Death to the infidels, inshallah!!
>>1080926
>tfw heaps of people picked on me just like that when I had the beard ;_;
How do some people grow glorious beards and they DON'T look like terrorists? Is it just upkeep? Styled haircut, looking trim, etc?
>>1080534
>This is not evidence of wanting to get laid.
lol yes it is. EVERY faggot on CS who only hosts an excuse has a bullshit excuse like the one you listed
>umm i hosted this guy one time and he was rude and spilled something on the carpet so now i only host girls...
fuck off and just admit you're a thirsty faggot. nothing wrong with wanting to get laid, but there are dedicated websites/apps for that and it really isn't what CS was supposed to be about. ruins the website for both guys and girls when 95% of hosts are like this
also, LOL at guys being "dirty". anyone who has sisters or who has ever lived with a girl knows that they're fucking disgusting
>>1080942
only hosts girls*
I've hosted roughly 50 people and stopped 2 years ago since every request since then has been titled "need a place to crash" which isn't the CS spirit. Of course , that's what it comes down to, but when you say you're going to do your own thing, just get a hostel.
>>1080957
>which isn't the CS spirit.
WTF is the CS spirit?
So far most anons have argued that CS has been hijacked by some hosts who assume there is a philosophy other than just accommodation.
So this means you are one of those assholes that expects stuff just because there is a "philosophy" and those who do not share your view are just ruining your experience.
WTF is CS spirit? Do they have to hang out with you or something? Do you expect gifts or shit?
>>1080939
it's very easy to style your beard. Look it up on youtube.
I just use a hair-trimmer with a set length of 1-2 centimeters all over the beard, and use a razor to shape around the cheeks.
>>1081023
CS was never just about using peoples couches as a hotel. If you're going to meet up with people on CS you need to at least try to interact a bit with them. Either hang out with them for a day or cook dinner with/for them. If you just want a bed you should look at hostels instead.
>>1081023
I'm guessing your couch requests always get ignored or denied.
I usually host my surfers for at least 2-3 days. I choose them based on their interests, of course. If their interest is to go to my city to get fucked up every night, they are denied. If they would like to explore around the city and to get a feel of what local life is about and what locals do for fun, they are considered. I ask for at least 1 day together. Then on the 2nd day we'll have breakfast or lunch and I'll drop them off wherever they'd like to go and let them do their own thing. If they are there a 3rd day I will let them do their own thing.
The thing about the CS spirit is that on the first day we will be hanging out all day and talking about anything. Their experiences, differences from our cultures, interests, local life, anything of that sort. I get to know them most during this time. If they would like to hang out the 2nd day, I will know more of what else they'd like to see because of what we talked about on the first day.
This is what I've done with about 40 guests and it suits me perfectly. I've never had a bad experience and I've kept in touch with most of them. I've also met up with 6 of them this past summer in their home country. Great time.
>>1081043
Yeah, I trimmed my beard now and again too, but it really showed how thin it was on my cheeks and you could see how the moustache doesn't join around my mouth, a fuller beard kind of hid that.
>sign up for couchsurfing, set profile to accept guests

>>1080754
I still regularly meet cool as people from CS. Including cool ass bros. I've gotten laid a bunch of times from CS but it's all happened organically (I was the guy who would never make a pass at a chick when hosting though).
I've ended up in situations that I never would have been in had I stayed in a hostel:
- biked an hour to a rave in Netherlands
- threesome with my host and her bf
- met some cool-ass dude who took us to a cenote that we would never have found in Mexico
- ended up in bars in the middle of nowhere that only a local would know
- learned a shit ton about the country I'm actually in vs learning about other countries from staying in a hostel
- been to some view points that I would never have gotten to without a car in Norway
The site has changed for sure but it's not so bad that I don't get anything enriching from it. Admittedly, I surf a lot less now because it can be exhausting sometimes. But I also care more now to find a host that I'd really click with.
>>1081068
Okay, then it's not for me because I want to sleep, not fucking be friends. I'm looking for a service, not an experience.
I have already my friends (on and off line) I can couchsurf with.
If that's the philosophy, I do not need to get on a massive website full of strangers: I do already couchsurf with people I know. I do not see why I would want to do this with a stranger.
>>1081074
>I'm guessing your couch requests always get ignored or denied.
I'm not on couchsurfing. Stop assuming.

It must be boring as hell after the first month. I can only imagine it here in Australia: all foreign-fags talking me of WHV visas, visa here, immigration there, sponsorship, jobs.

>>1082679
Look, I have nothing against your opinion. That said, I think it's pretty stupid to expect some asshole to just show up at your front door, take up space in your house and then leave without interacting much. This is a free service after all, the hosts do not or at least should not expect any compensation for this. But they are letting in complete strangers into their houses. I think the least the person could do would be to keep them company and hang out for an evening (of course if the host wants that).

Sure.
Tell me another tale.
Half of the people here who declared they are hosts also said they expected somebody who comes over to pay to get them drunk or to bring gifts and stuff.
Whats the chance a host smokes weed or knows where to get some?

Thanks Anon, I enjoyed your original story and the way you got defensive after people called you out on your autism. I have to admit, you seem like a creepy dude and exactly the type I would not want to host. I hope one day you learn through trial and error how to have harmless small talk. Best of luck to you
When I was living in Amsterdam my house mates were all guys so they signed up and only accepted girls.
One new years eve we had 3 French girls and 4 Chilean girls sleeping on our living room floor.
One do the French girls looked like Megan Fox, I kid you not.
Nobody got lucky that night though because most everyone was beta af
>>1083364
The fuck? You don't have to buy anything for your host or to give them money. A lot of people use Couchsurfing to save some money, besides the social aspect of interacting with your host. That being said, there are plenty of ways to show appreciation for your host if you're travelling on a budget. I always like to bring something from my country (local beer, famous sweets, etc.), show them a skill I know or share travel advice, clean their dishes or help with other chores, and leave a nice thank you note. I think it shows a lot more appreciation than just being fortunate enough to have rich parents or live in a rich Western country where you can easily save up for a big trip working a minimum wage job for a few months.
The reason Couchsurfing actually started was because the owner was travelling on a budget and wanted a place for free to crash. You're a retard and you're ruining the community if you think you have to spend anything on your host.
>>1083365
I'd say above average. A lot (but not all!) CS hosts are usually a 'certain type', the type who either have a stash or know someone who would. Then again, stoners are pretty lazy about answering CS stuff till the last minute, and the couch will be well used... tread carefully.
>>1080566

Now that you mention it, I acknowledge it is already a thing. Didn't know the English phrase though.
>>1074636
I'm only 18, and I have noticed the majority of hosts are around 25. Do you think if I was couchsurfing in Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam anyone would have a problem with that?
I'm socially skilled and I am fairly mature for my age.
I've been planning on using this site this summer, after I finish high school. Wanting to travel 300 km on a bike up north where a bike park is going to be opened for the season.
>>1083692
>socially skilled
what matters more is how orally skilled you are.
>>1074636
I used to host and got hosted a bit in late 2013. Mostly good experiences with the exception 2 german dudebros who crashed at my place and came back late at night slightly drunk etc.
>>1082243
You need to start out by taking in people who urgently need a place because they were ditched or something. After you start racking up 3 or 5 recommendations you start getting sought after.
>>1083692
Not really, provided you follow your hosts rules. That means if you're looking for parting or something, then make sure your host is ok with that beforehand.
>>1082243
So it's just like every other hookup site?
Think it would work to stay with people without hosting yet? I want to start this summer when I'm out, but I haven't used that site yet.
Genuinely interested to see how people live -- not just crash.
Used to cs but my hairstarted thinning so i shaved it off. Being that i am latino and a bodybuilder ididnt realize that i now look like a thug even though i dont dress that way in the slightest.
Now i dont get accepted and hosts dont even reply to me much .

Only times when I've had a bad time is when I come across that hyper social extroverted european guy who doesn't shut the fuck up. Usually has terribly broken english with a heavy accent. Usually cockblocks everyone in his attempt to flirt and fuck every girl, mainly by wearing down any girl's desire to talk/hang out with anyone by yammering on and on for hours.
This happened to me about a month ago.

You just gotta be careful m80. I should've just ignored his message considering his profile wasn't filled in or didn't have any friends or recommendations, but the date to me flying out there was getting closer and closer and I was getting a little worried. I ended up staying in a hotel so it was all good.

fuck...
Sydney fag here. I'm shocked at how hard it is to host anyone who isn't a guy. Have had numerous girls request to stay with me and then drop all contact after i accept 10 mins later (must have been spamming requests). I did host one girl who agreed to all these plans to go to concerts, trips etc and then when she arrived she suddenly had 4 other 40-50 year old male friends of a friend from facebook pounce on her and spend every moment with her. Ended up talking to her for 1-2 hours over 6 days. Would go out until 1 am every night with these guys who would take her to fancy restaurants and drive her around in their 4wd etc. My apartment is very expensive but she never once said it was nice, and actually complained that having carpet instead of floorboards is unhealthy cause these old dudes were in the best suburb of syd etc. This girl mentioned she gets about 100 people offering to host her....it's messed up...guys should not be fighting to provide free shit to average girls.
>>1086444
>This girl mentioned she gets about 100 people offering to host her
That sounds about fucking right, I was talking to my sister about online dating the other day and said when she makes a profile with pof or something she's inundated messages from guys, my other sister said the exact same thing. My sisters aren't hot either, shits fucked.

Wow what a way to throw out the stereotype out the window. The important question is were they cute?
Is it common for female guest to to walk around in underwear or near naked ? Countries like germany are big nudists so it should happen...
Also is it accepted that a host can walk around in their underwear ?
I find it hard to be attracted to girls I host cause they r so damm casual..a common scenario
me: welcome to my home
guest: thanks, i really need the toilet ive been out all day
me:*sits down to watch tv
guest: *splat...pff...splat splat splat
>>1086652
how to get in trouble while couchsurfing:
1. take off all your clothes without asking
2. expect your guests to take off all their clothes
3. talk about taking off clothes
go to craigslist if you want to do stuff like that
>>1086655
They poo with the door open? Is where you sit down to watch tv right next to the bathroom door?
>>1086661
Bathrooms r not soundproof if someone doesnt make an effort to be discreet lay down paper etc plus u often need to clean up a bit which makes it worse
>>1086411
Indianbrah?
>>1086660
I did ask some upcoming guests if me being in underwear is fine and they said it was...i dont wanna change the way i live too much when hosting for free.
I have seen guys profile say they r nudists and still get a fair amount of guests...thinking of trying that.
I dont really wanna go full sexual, but i think nothing wrong with getting a little tingle going on from being around consenting pretty girls as i am giving free accomodation.
Anyone who thinks couchsurfing should be completely sexually sterile will never comprehend it.. girls will choose guys on looks and even the nice old guys who r in it for the community still get a little buzz going from pretty girls sleeping nearby etc.

>>1086714
I saw one dude who on there who was a nudist, he had several pictures of him at different places with his back turned to the camera stark naked, he still had a heap of recommendations and friends.
>>1086762
Yeah interesting...and I saw one nudist host who was giving references to a bunch quality girls saying he is glad they were so open to get naked and try his lifestyle etc. I think there is a real possibility you can make a few chicks nude if they wanna experience new culture while travelling etc...It could backfire though and u end up with skid marks/ period blood on ur furniture and bedsheets etc when u get a dirty hippy.
I am hosting 2 girls this weekend...a bit worried as I saw they were into dumpster diving and had been travelling for ages...seems like a red flag they might be filthy unshowered hippies....
>>1086787
This guy is a nudist and very popular...I wonder if the majority of the female references went nude...a lot of mentions of comfort zones and trying new things etc....

>>1086652
>Countries like germany are big nudists so it should happen
Never in my life in Germany have I entered a home and the hosts just stripped off their clothes (except if it was gf and she was home alone). People are less hung up about nudity, doesn't mean they want to eat shrooms and have an orgy with the crusty dude on their couch.
>>1086805
I guess he means if you're going to go to a music festival in or around Berlin and just use his couch to crash between 20-hour benders, forget it. Seems reasonable.
>>1087001
Of course they r not going to just get naked...but something like walking from the bedroom to the bathroom in underwear or walking out of the shower in a towel with a nip slip or something seem like possibilities
>>1087060
There are better and probably more realistic fantasies for your teenage mind to focus on. What are you, Indian or Arab or something? You sound creepy as one.
>>1080536
Playboy doesn't have nude photos anymore
You HAVE to read it for the articles
I know there is a moral discussion we can have on the right or wrong of sleeping with a guest: however, I see nothing wrong with it (IF) there is no pressure or force. One thing I am concerned about, is how do you initiate something? As a male host, when I host girls (and I host dudes too, just not interested in being with them), I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable but I do want to put that option on the table. How have you gone about or heard others go about doing this? There are dudes on CS who are "nudists," but I don't think that's the right way to go about doing this...
>>1087149
Im going to say it has to involve alcohol and meeting eyes over a bottle of wine etc..
On another note, couchsurfing even gives u the option of saying u can share a spot in ur bed...has anyone tried this and gotten girls in their bed ? I think a lot of the girls would probably not even read the section on ur type of bed available though...
>>1080543

So I don't have any references and I looked up what meetings are happening in my city and it's only going out for drinks kind of meetings which I can't do atm. Does anyone who doesn't have contacts want to get in touch and exchange references?

I created a profile years ago because I thought it seemed like a cool concept.
But I never used it because:
A: I pay rent on a house I don't own and the owner would freak the fuck out if he knew I was hosting
B: I have no history with the site and I'm guessing nobody wants to host a 34 year old guy with no past experience with CS

>wanted it to be a joke
>spend the entire night using my phone to call all the phones I purchased so they ring for the entire night
I don't get it, why would you completely disrupt their time at your place by ringing the phones the entire night? How could that be funny?
I know fantasies are fun and all but when I'm traveling I really don't want to fuck someone or flirt with them.
>>1092603
Why not? People were born to fuck and reproduce, why are you disregarding your reason for living?
>>1092630
>reproduce
Causal sex is the exact opposite of that. It's just for "fun" which is pointless and trivial anyway. If it was actually for reproduction like you said we'd be getting married and raising a family together.
Do these retarded hippies understand what they're saying before they say it? kek
>>1092633
It's considered pointless if you're a fedora wearing neckbeard who couldn't get laid to say his life anyway, but to normal people it feels good fucking
>>1092634
>says the one adhering exactly to the values the fedoras uphold
Not everyone is a degenerate faggot like you
Eating feels good must we eat everything and do it in excess too?
Your logic is inane and suspect as the things you consider normal, kill yourself waste of sperm.

Why don't you like flirting or having sex while traveling though? Do you like it normally?
>>1092646
>Why don't you like flirting or having sex while traveling though?
I don't see the point in having sex with someone I won't see again or be with for a long time.
>Do you like it normally?
no
>>1092784
I don't think it is. I'm not attracted to the idea and it's not even for moral reasons. Stop trying to convince me into your trifling lifestyle, thanks.

Q: are you a grrl
I just feel like women will have overall better experiences (albeit with very divergent outliers) whereas men just have meh experiences.
>>1092812
I'm none of the anons you've replied to earlier. And I'm not trying to convince you to have sex. One less loser out of the cakewalk is fine by me.
>>1092828
I know you're not. I just find you people annoying as shit.
Makes me pray more for bombings around Europe and America, 2bh

You're the one who's defective, retard. Don't wait for murderers, just off yourself and make the world a better place.

What's the CS environment in Japan like? I'm probably gonna be moving there for JET and I might be interested in hosting while I'm there.
Am I in for a bunch of disgusting weebs?
>>1093362
>Am I in for a bunch of disgusting weebs?
I don't think the CS community is like tha anywhere, if people are shy and try to avoid human contact they wouldn't really be hosting or surfing now would they?

I'm planning on couchsurfing in the Balkahns a bit cause I want to extend the length of my trip as soon as possible. I can't stand hippies, are most people who host hippies?
Try being an attractive American blonde girl and do this shit. Everyone tries to fuck me, and unlike some people I have no interest in shopping for cock around the world.
Couchsurfing is tiresome especially in countries like Italy, Greece, Argentina, the Balkans where men just don't fucking give up in their advances.
AirBnB is a little better since you agree to pay beforehand.

>Try being an attractive American blonde girl and do this shit. Everyone tries to fuck me, and unlike some people I have no interest in shopping for cock around the world.
Yeah your life must really suck, femanon. All those men, throwing themselves at you, simply due to your sheer attractiveness? The NERVE of some people!
>>1096551
The problem aren't the men that want to have sex with me, but the ones where men culturally just never take no as an answer. Men have "stolen" kisses, tried to fondle me, "surprised" me to a romantic candlelight dinner or just straight up opened up for me naked with a hardon.
When you make it clear that you're not on an international booty call and they don't understand no, it is annoying.
>>1096560
>"surprised"
>" "
Does that mean you saw it coming?
There is a price for everything lass, all girls who stay with me should expect to see a hard cock in their face when they wake up. Most have done as expected and got on their knees and swallowed my cock, then cum obediently.

No need to be a whiney bitch, just go to your town's local steambath. You too can have all the men you want throwing themselves (or their bodily fluids anyway) at you.
>>1096573

This isn't your brony fan fic blog. Fuck off.
>>1096696
good lord
you expect ppl to believe there's an attractive american blonde girl posting here?
I used to be social enough to do shit like this, but three months in a cabin alone growing pot has made me turn into a social retard. I get anxiety even thinking about talking to strangers.
Do you think it will be possible to get hosted if I don't have any references? I can't really host anyone and there are no other active people in my small town to get references from. I've been a member for a good few years now, hosted people but they seem to be no longer on the site and I lost their references. I can no longer host so it looks like I don't have any references at all. :(
>>1096831
>Do you think it will be possible to get hosted if I don't have any references?
Yes, just write a nice request. And by nice I don't mean a hundred paragraphs, too long and I can't be bothered reading...
>>1096717
It's possible, this isn't /b/, /trv/ is one of the most normalfag boards on 4chan... because the entire experience requires some money, getting out of the house and some social skills.
(I do still think it's a subtle troll, though)
