Please don't request to stay if you're not comfortable around curious young children. You're requesting to stay in their home, and at the very least I would expect you to answer any questions they have about where you are from etc.

We have 3 young children and prefer to host families, but open to meeting up with anyone. Weekends are better for staying overnight but I can meet up in the week during the day.

We are up early with the kids, and also go to bed early - so can't offer late night conversations or going out in the evening. But we enjoy walks, cafes and exploring new places - woods, seaside, parks etc. Everything has to be child friendly.

I believe in the principles of permaculture and living within our means, financially and environmentally, and see this as a real alternative to the current collective mindset, which is currently unsustainable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Been hosting / surfing for a few years now and have realised that I prefer to spend time with my hosts / surfers and get to know them. This usually means surfing for 2 nights or 1 night with a day to spend time together. I am not interested in hosting people who are just looking for free accommodation and have not set aside time to get to know their hosts.
