I like independent couchsurfers that know how to use everything that this modern age of technology is offering . That know how to get around , take the metro and use google maps!!!!As sometimes I can host people , but I'm too busy to show them around. But, If I have time I can have fun with you (cooking, eating, or anything you want me to join you, sightseeing , sports , hiking, camping , going to the nature, etc. ) But please don't send me a couch-request if you don't have more than or around 20 references about yourself . I think we all should first host people at your place and contribute in this way to this couch-surfing community, and then you can start travelling and have that hospitality returned to you. Also don't send me requests saying that you could not find hotel rooms, so that is the reason you want to stay with us. Or because it's a free accommodation. Then you just don't get what is Couchsurfing about.
