Hi,

I'm trying to plan a freshwater fishing trip from afar. I'm planning a freshwater fishing trip for a senior who has some handicaps. He would not be able to go on a boat. Are there any small ponds with good records, and a guide service who would be willing to work with him? Anyone know of any smaller lakes near Destin, FL?

Hello all!

I'm a musician from Greenville, SC and I'm coming down to the Destin/Santa Rosa Beach area to get some R&R and do some songwriting. While I'm there, I would love it if I could meet a few people, share my music, and (if possible!) play a bit for some locals.

While venues/cafes/bars are great places to play, I often find that the most rewarding performing experiences are house shows. Would any CSers here be willing to host me for a show? I'd be happy to play for cheap/small tips, just to help pay for some food or something on my trip.

I'd also be more than happy to give a host a free copy of my band's album, and of course I'd provide some links for y'all to check out the style/genre of music before you decide. Just don't want to clog up the group message board with a bunch of promo. :-)

Please do let me know, even if you could host me and 5-10 other people, that would be fantastic!

Hey fellow surfers, I have some exciting news! The Charlotte Couch Surfing community has been talking about hosting our very own Charlotte couch crash off and on for the past year (maybe longer!), and we're finally going to make it happen this year! We've decided to have it from Thursday, November 12th through Sunday November 15th. So mark your calendars, request time off work for Thursday through Sunday, make accommodations for your pets, and come join in all the fun to be had for Charlotte's inaugural couch crash!

To make planning easier on the hosts we ask that you please:

1. click on the link pages and figure out which events you plan on attending and RSVP

2. If you have any questions about the events, post them in the event page and one of the contacts will get back to you.

3. If you haven't already done so, start reaching out to hosts in Charlotte to ensure that you can find a spot to stay. There may be limited spaces available, so the sooner you find a host the better! GET EXCITED!! WE'RE LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY!!
