I have been on CS since 2009 and met a lot of cool people as friends, hosts or guests. I am still in touch with some of them. I think it is a good way of sharing, getting know different people and cultures (too cliche yeah but indeed it is) Mention your local beer brand at the beginning of your couch request and tell how do you like it so that i know your request is not a copy paste one. Your couch request will be declined if: -you dont know your possible host's name -you think your legs, breasts, ass is enough to be hosted -you dont tell about yourself -you send a message not a couch request -you are travelling with someone and did not mention about him/her -i somehow realize you did not bother to take a look at my profile

We hosted i guess 100 people in summer in 2010 with my flatmates :D
