Nomads investigating humans and their stories

‏ ‏Long is the time, hard is the road... (Chris Rea)🎼

🔛 check our perspective to be our GUEST:
✅ we highly appreciate simple details about staying at smn’s place:
✔️fresh blankets and towel (no more than just a simple hygiene)
✔️ (!) if you think you have certain rules (whatever)
please inform in advance - so it could be a mutual respect
✔️We appreciate when people keep their home clean and we do our best to stay in and leave it in the same or even better condition 🧸
👍 in our turn we appreciate host’s time, schedule and rules, try not to bother by small things, respect privacy, and try to make a great CS experience for both - our hosts and us which means we’re staying with our potentially future friends, don’t take for granted or without compensation what we use, offer some help maybe, or just staying overnight like in hotel will be seen accordingly ❌ 😇

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🚩CS is good for cross-cultural meetings (tolerant-world shaping)
🚩positive vibes 🕊️
🚩sharing and getting new useful info, tips and knowledge 📖
🚩new friends around the world 🗺️
🚩 an exciting opportunity to see new places - and meet friendly people living there and to know their lifestyle and mindset
🚩 to prove that the world is a global village (over the years we see more and more cross refs of people we met, hosted and were hosted by - sometimes it’s just shocking)
🚩 to escape daily routine when hosting
