Before you make a request, please: You must be a host, as well as a surfer with REFERENCES. I am a fairly chilled individual, respectful and considerate, who sometimes likes to travel solo too. I like adventure travel (well, the positive and good type of adventure anyway lol) and getting to know local landscapes, culture and folklore. I appreciate the local knowledge and tips I can get from a local host and the human experience of Couchsurfing. I don't reply to Tinder-like requests, men who do so are grossly misinformed about humanity and also about the nature of this platform. Please note, I don't respond kindly if I do respond!
