Hey guys, just thought I'd put up my experiences with CouchSurfing so far. I never got it to work out when I was in Europe, and I just moved into my apartment, so I haven't been able to host yet. The easiest way to get involved with and motivated to contribute to this wonderful community is by going to CouchSurfing events in your city.
Last month, I saw that they were having a Nashville potluck where you brought something to eat and met some fellow CouchSurfers. This was an awesome time for me, especially since I did not know a lot of people around the city yet. I ended up talking music with one guy, and we have gone to a couple shows around town. Today, I went to my second potluck and met even more great people. There are so many great people that participate in CouchSurfing whether it's hosting, surfing, or just meeting up for drinks, and I am excited that I will be able to start hosting in another week.
So if you're thinking about getting involved with CouchSurfing, but you don't quite know how to get started, I highly recommend getting together with other CouchSurfers in the area. Not only will it motivate you to start hosting as soon as possible, but you also get to meet some awesome people in your city that you may never have met.
Anyways, I'm off to try to do some work before meeting back up with some CSers to knock back a few pints!
Anyone else have great CouchSurfing experiences? Stories?
