Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe that hospitality exchange programmes are not simply a tool to get a room for free. So far I've hosted positively (a few times, been hosted by) several people and I have also had a few very positive and rewarding meetings with high profile people.

Generally I appreciate very much people who are ready to admit their mistakes. But they are among the endangered species. Look at the case of the Soprano/Singer Phillips who contacted me short ago. She might have phoned me and apologize for the troubles she caused. No, rather than doing that, she grasped the stupid luggage pretext to reply and justify herself playing the role of the victim. This is an example of narrow minded behavior which, in turn, disturbs the project as I'll have to become more careful before accepting guests.
