Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been living 6 months in Nantes (France), in a big apartment with 4 room mates ; we have hosted some couch surfers several times, it was always a great pleasure. So I can tell I already have a good experience with couch surfing, in both side, as I've been a guest 6 times in the past.

For now, I like to meet couch surfers in Cologne from time to time for a drink or something else. For my next trips, I would love to surf again as this contributes for sure to fun & pleasure of traveling !
In the future, I hope to be able to host people when i will have a bigger flat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was by a lovely couple in Toronto in 2008.
2011 : i've been hosted in June by a Croatian family in a small town called "Gradac", on the Croatian coast.
Later I had again a nice experience in Berlin.
2012 : I travelled in Brüssels via couchsurfing and
2013: great experience again in Glasgow, Belfast, Barcelona, Blanes (Costa Brava), Amsterdam !

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

In Croatia, I've been hosted by a brother & a sister who were starting with their own little touristic "agency". Actually, perfect idea : excursions in small groups in the mountains, boating on Adriatic sea, and experiencing pure & simple nature (like eating what you can fish during the day, etc).
So, the guy who is a also a professional guide for trek, took us for hiking in Biokovo massif, where we met a hermit. This old man was living completely alone in a valley for about 10 years, after war had started in Croatia at that time. He was totally self-sufficient thanks to his cattle and his garden. His only friend was his dog hehe. We could not communicate verbally with him ; but we laughed and enjoyed time all together.
