Because I love languages and cultural exchange, I love hosting those who come from a different background than myself. So if you're willing to speak in a language other than English (we have a "no English" house rule), then my husband (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/yankl) and I would be delighted to host you. Possible languages include: ייִדיש, Español, Русский, Français, Português, العربية, עברית, Deutsch, Magyar, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Esperanto, 普通话, O'zbekcha, and Кыргызча. If you write at least the first sentence of your message in one of these languages (NOT ENGLISH), your chances of receiving a response will be much higher. :) Update: Unfortunately we can no longer host people staying the night at this time, but we can potentially host people for meals, especially for shabbat on Friday night and for Saturday lunch. So if that interests you, then you can email me at mirarivke@gmail.com (where I'm more likely to see your message :).
