I'm young, and I've been doing a bit of traveling over the last couple of years (China, Vietnam, Ireland, Califorinia and the Eastern Seaboard), and I've heard of couchsurfing from more than a couple of people that I've met, but I've yet to try it. I like the idea that people you meet online are real and hospitable, but personally, I wouldn't want to do that.
I like hostels because you get to meet many young traveler types that have varying experiences and cultures, and meeting together for a meal or a soccer match with that many people from that many backgrounds is probably one of the greatest things ever. I think that maybe it would be hard to meet as many people (save pubs I suppose) if you were couchsurfing.
- joeguilmette 19y agoactually you know those people who stay in hostels and such? they host couchsurfers when they aren't travelling. a friend of mine couchsurfed through europe, and he met more people and had more fun than he ever would have otherwise. they'll bring you around town, introduce you to their friends, etc. you should really give it a chance, especially if you are a hosteler, there's a reason everyone says to use it :)
