I knew couch surfing would lead me to meeting some interesting people, and I totally recommend it to anyone who's interested! ;) For those unfamiliar with it, it's all about sharing your culture and offering your couch (generally for free, though some hosts accept a small donation), for a week or two to a foreigner. If you're a guest, you're obligated to be neat, polite, and engaging. (No emo folks need apply!) If you're a host, you should be accommodating, polite, and generally you shouldn't try to take advantage of your guests in any way (unless they want you to, *wink wink*).
I would never take advantage of any of my guests, of course, but I will say that being a couch surfing host has let me tick off more than a few countries off my "list". ;)
It's kinda like bingo... do I get a prize if I get 5 in a row? :D
Well, I should probably stop blogging now. Shane and I are going to grab a later dinner then back to my place for packing and... other things. ;)
