Show Notes
Officially, Couchsurfing is free, but it's really only free for inconsiderate guests.
Polite guests and anyone with common sense will give back to their host.
When I wrote "How To Be A Good Couchsurfing Guest and Host," the response was overwhelming:
- It hit the Top 2 in Google when you search for "Couchsurfing guest" - it's even above Couchsurfing's own website!
- Dozens of Couchsurfing hosts linked to the article in their profile saying, "Please follow this Francis Tapon's advice."
- Couchsurfing.com itself syndicated the article on their website.
So I struck a nerve.
In this podcast, I hit some of the same points I hit in the article. I recommend that anyone who wants to use Couchsurfing listen to this podcast and read the article.
I love Couchsurfing because it's helped me gain cultural insights for my books. I highly recommend Couchsurfing, as long as you follow my advice.
