@Hyrtsi 3 года назад

if somebody is nice and hosts you, remember to show your appreciation to them. bring them food, spend time with them, teach them something valuable. CS is not free hotel. it's a community. hosted 4 ppl before the pandemic and had fun. :)

@rod22lt 7 лет назад

Spot on Alexander! I've hosted cs's from all over the world. First thing I look for is a full profile...don't be lazy! Then I look at pics, date joined and references. No references isn't a deal killer if they are relatively new. But they need a full profile. My biggest peeve requests are for accommodation just for sleep then they leave the next morning...cs is not just about accommodation. It's also about the exchange of meeting and learning about others...so don't be in a rush. Cs has been an amazing experience and I've never had one bad experience. Thanks for the vid!

@AlexanderTravelbum 7 лет назад

rod22lt you make the world a better place. Thank you

@cieleglass502 5 лет назад

Thank you for this comment. As a future couch surfer, it is important to know the expectations of the hosts. Not to treat the host as just a free provider of accommodation. I'll get to working on my profile!

@IamBrendaMarie 5 лет назад

I think it supposed to be a culture exchange. Are you require to bring a token from your culture like a magnet from your country? Or something to see your appreciation. Take them to dinner or pay for an event you when too together? It is free for all? Just asking?

Thanks, Alexander for making the video! So inspirational and I learned a lot, even though I've been using Couchsurfing for about 4 years on a regular basis. You have such a positive energy and a calm manner. Further, I found it exciting to listen to you. I was sucked into the video at times. You also describe it in very detail and you make it easy to understand. Also, I find it cool that you put up the description in german. This indicates to me that you are a competent and organized person. You left a great impression on me. Cheers Max

First of all, thanks for the Video :) We're traveling by hitchhiking around the world since october 2017 and are using couchsurfing quiet often. It works amaizing and we love to meet the locals and have cultural exchange. One more tip: use PUBLIC TRIPS aswell!!! We had a lot of amaizing results with this function, too. So far this has worked especially well in turkey. Greetings from Armenia, Sina & Niels

Use public trips if traveling with another person or maybe as a male. DON'T as a single female. It doesn't always work out well. Contact people direct. Stay safe everyone!

Remember to bring somrthing to share with your host. Something from your culture (one little group from Taiwan brought a chinese calligraphy set for me) or some food or maps/brochures/postcard from your last place on your travels (my favourite!) Offer to cook for the family, of read a story/play with the kids. For example taking children out to kick a ball in the garden whilst the parents cook dinner . . . It all helps.

after watching this I realize that the concept of Free is Elusive at best. What we don't pay in money, we pay in time & energy trying to relate and gain other's approval. It seems to get anywhere in the world, we need either something that everyone approves of which is money, or be a very approvable person ourselves.

@WhatashameMaryJane 5 лет назад

Yes! You can post a "public trip". You describe briefly yourself and your trip and it will appear publicly on the page of the city you're going to visit, so that hosts who have time to host/show around to someone in those days can contact you and offer you their company. :)

@WhatashameMaryJane 5 лет назад

Also, if you're only interested in meeting up and not being hosted, it's super easy to find locals. You use a new feature of the Couchsurfing app called "Hangouts". You activate it on the app when you're in the place and it will show you all the people nearby who have activated this feature as well. You can make a post saying "looking for a local to take a walk with" and they're free to contact you in the chat.

BUT there is a huge BUT whatever your documentation and your previous references suggest you must endeavor to fulfill.

I started using the couch surfing say and it automatically charge me $60, which I did not have at the time, so I offloaded my app. But I did meet a world traveler and actually drove her up the coast of California. She is the one who told me about the app to begin with. I do want to experience the locals though, the culture, the tour guides, to meet people. That’s cool. But how do you around the $60 fee? That’s steep

I don't know how that happened, you only pay that to get verified, which you really don't need to do. I haven't been verified all these years. Can you contact them? I mean, it is good if you continue to use it a lot, I'm sure you'd get hosts easier with verification

Thank you for helping me with this today bit. I’ll look into to more. I didn’t realize that. Blessings 💜

Surely it is easier to couchsurf in young age, do you think people only want the same age? I myself can be interested in someone with interests different than mine, so hopefully others can be like that too.

Awesome information video... Looking into going on a cross country adventure via hostels and/or couch surfing... Maybe sooner than I had originally planned_ as in, within next couple of weeks. Any advice? Mexico to Canada via 2650-mile Pacific Crest trail I have slated for 2020 or 2021

@AlexanderTravelbum 6 лет назад

+malcolm weeks awesome, I'm glad to hear about an adventure like that. I suggest making your CS profile now, and trying to connect with some hosts early. See if you can set something up ahead of time, fill out your profile completely. I'm sure you'll be able to find some hosts, and then, great new friends for a long time

Partially he gives good tips, on the other hand writing requests, I think he is too much like a person I would probably not like to meet, because very much unlikely so, I perceive him as too slimly.Despite me fighting prejudice daily I would probably not host him.

What do you think is not a good tip here? I'm asking cause I'm genuinely curious, I also make videos about Couchsurfing. Trying to spread the good values and the message on the Tube ;)

If you go to another country do you have to be fluent in their language?

In Singapore, Couchsurfing is banned, so are Airbnb. Very sad though. A great way to meet friends.

Ok my big question, and its a lil unrelated, how do you get past the 90 day visa thing for Schengen countries?

@AlexanderTravelbum 7 лет назад

Northern Sailor hey mate, actually I'm not sure how to get around that ha..what I do is, I spend half my time in Schengen, so basically Western Europe, and then half my time in Eastern Europe. There are some amazing places on both sides, so if you want to spend 6 months or longer, I suggest doing the west then the east, or back and forth. Then it'll start over after those 90 days

@gaboltl 6 лет назад

As Alex said both Western and East Europe are amazing so you can wander 3 months in the west and then another 3 months in the east and then you'll be all set for another 90 days in the west is that's your wish.

@echa9446 6 лет назад

I come from a country that require a visa to go to europe for a short time (even for a day)....and in order to get that visa, we should provide hotel booking proofs and a reference paper from our hosts, like 2-3 months before our departure. Can couchsurfing hosts provide those letters 2-3 months prior? Because I'm not sure if they want to (cos they haven't meet me yet), or even if they do, 2-3 months seems far too early to be sure whether they can provide the couch or not (maybe they'll be out of town or something). What do you think or recommend I should do about this? Thanks
