"I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind." - Richard Greenberg

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Primarily my experience of couchsurfing extends to friends of friends - I've been part of a house swap, stayed in an amazing B&B in Brooklyn and love the edge some local knowledge gives to a trip.

My takeaways are: be tidy, be polite, be helpful, try not to overstay your welcome and bring wine.
