HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm interested in cultural exchange, especially with Greek, Italian and English culture. I'm ready to host in my flat any kind of interesting people: artists, musitians, remote software engineers, anyone who are interesting to talk with.. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I think CS is great project. We've already host a lot of people, and most of them are really nice. And when we surf, sometimes we meet a lot of other CS guests. It is so great when people from different countries and cultures lives as a true family! As for my surfing experience, I've noted the following general groups of hosts: 1.) With private attitude and private care. Usually no more than single group of guests at the same time, intervals between hosting, going out together etc. Actually, we are such hosts also )) 2.) Accepters. Same group as 1, but without intervals between hosting, with less private care and less joint activities. Just CS hosts. 3.) Clubbers. They are trying to build CS community (which every day is different) in their place by accepting as much groups of people as flat or house has a space for. Sometimes accepting so much, that some of CS guests should stay not in the room, but camp under the tent somewhere nearby :) Usually 'clubbers' are busy with huge amount of guests, but the community value is great in such places.

On baloon over Melbourne. Fantastic air transport!
