THIS IS NOT Airbnb so please refrain from thinking I should be thankful for hosting you. Please be respectful and courteous to my country and culture. Although I dont have qualms accepting people who have never tried couchsurfing before. I do prefer guests who have hosted other people before. And please, don't send a copy and paste request, honestly it is a bit rude. Take time to read our profiles or references. A personal written request could earn you some brownie points.
