I am a couchsurfing member and have stayed and hosted a few people and have gone to the CS meetings and events. The community is extremely warm and generous and I've never met anyone who is sketchy let alone dangerous. Of course, you should follow a good screening process meaning checking their history on courchsurfing, looking for recommendations and checking for profiles of recommender.
I have met really nice people on CS and have actually dated a few people I met on courchsurfing. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
- guelo 16y agoUnfortunately it only takes one horrific story to kill off something like couchsurfing. People aren't very good at extrapolating risk when they hear about that 100 in a million awful news story (how many millions of Craiglist people met before that one Carigslist killer?). It's what killed off hitchhiking in the US. Let's hope it doesn't kill off some of these new internet phenomena.
