we gonna tell you something about COUCHSURFING
and about our experience from USA
how we travel throught three cities
couchsurfing is like philosophy of sharing
it's great project
that someone realize this kind of idea
and that so many helpful people are living on our planet
willing to accept stranger in their house to accommodate
and show their world
if you want to travel low budget
anywhere in the world
especialy in expensive countries like USA
you can use couchsurfing
you need to register on www.couchsurfing.com
you fill out your profile
you'll find a country you wanna visit
and you search for a host that are willing to accept you
and than you'll write him/her request to stay with
but it isn't so easy
but hosts are not going to accept you just like that
saying Hi I'm Katka can I sleep in your place? Thanks :D
NO
you must read profile of your potential host
find some common characteristics and share the same interests
and it's like a KARMA
OK I'll accept a stranger in my place and someone othter will help me find place to sleep in world
you'll find friends all around the world
you'll teach new stuff from eachother
that you'll see their world
So here is our experience in USA
We started in Washington D.C.
we were there for 2 nights
we lived with Jay
Jay is amazing person
he is an ophthalmologist
his flat is in centre od D.C.
very close to metro/subway
and I'm still astonished from his kindness
I still thinking that we people from Slovakia
are scared, we fear another people
we don't want to show them our life, our privacy
but couchsurfers will show you their whole world
and they'll accept you
they give you keys from flat
so when we came back earlier
and Jay wasn't home we simply just enter
this building is a place where we try out for the first time couchsurfing
welocme in Washington D.C.
we return here because we forgot to take metrocards
this is bed that we sleep on
Jay is very kind and helpful person
He's a great host and I'm looking forward to show him Prague
mostly the host provide for you a couch or extra bed
but Jay gives us his bed
I'm still surprised and shocked about that
he gives us towels
we can use whole apartment
he also give us food, beer, snacks
He even take us out for a dinner
but we pay for food
he don't want it from us but it was our way to say thanks for your hospitality
and we order this "healthy" pizza
we are all full
little bit surfeit
it was a great pizza
this is how we live in D.C.
there is a pool on rooftop
yoga lesson for free
gym for free
and a garden with park
it's really nice in here in centre
and every first friday of month
the building serves free breakfast
sweets, croisants and fruits
I want his neighbour :D
every are scented candle and the smell is awesome
so that was D.C.
than we we're in Boston
that was really funny experience
because we met our host just for 2 minutes on street
give us keys and went to party
so we enter the house
Jamaica plain 198
Hi from second couch from Boston
we're in classic american wodden style house
like from Fairy Tales - The 3 Little Pigs
we randomly met our host outside his building
and he just keys and contact on his roomie
and went to party that we'll see eachother in morning
he's living with 4 roomates
so one of them show us around
and we're here just sitting laid back
going to use Playstation or help with emptying bottles behind me :D
Creme de Banana
sightseeing time
bathroom all what you need
classic kitchen
room 1, room 2
our room in livingroom
TV, playstation 3 some games and movies
we should watch Hangover 3 or play Golden eyeeee
or we should go to sleep
Thanks for a lovely day in Boston
to Veronica and Bob it was awesome :-*
we wento to sleep and in morning wake up
we don't met Asad anymore but we write him a letter
thanks for everything
leave him some snacks and beer
and left the house
Person living in Boston
in house
with few other roomates
has left us crush in his place when he wasn't home
and we barely see eachother
Would you do that for some random stranger?
And the last couch was the best experience
we stayed with Bill
he lives in Brooklyn NYC
we lived there for whole week
he have one roomate Manon
she is from Netherlands - Amsterdam
she love to sing
we understand in this she want to be a singer
trying to achieve something
is the key!
You can't give up you must keep trying until you reach your goal
we slept in living room on spreading couch
New York is the city that never sleeps
It's true people go to bed after 1-2 a.m.
and it was quite a shock for us
because we want to wake up early to see as much as possible
first days we wake up early
but then we get so tired that we sleep until 11 a.m.
it was worth it because the people showed us other site of NYC
they took us to jazz club
to party
i feel like in Jamaica
Jamaica find us again
in NYC
it's instant love for the rest of our life
Bill took us also to bbq party
there was lots of people mostly friends of Bill
I find new friend from China and India
Bill invited us on bbq party in centre of Brooklyn
on 99 Scott ave.
we were in Japan one year ago
whitch is the best?
Tokio and Kyoto
Cheers
Jamaican beer Red Stripe
in Brooklyn
tremendous flavour
this dude have funny moustache
you must see that
moustache like a d'Artagnan
so cute
The closer my departure from New York gets
the more i love this city
I must say that couchsurfing is amazing
because it's not about staying in hotel room
and go for a walk like a regular tourist
but you'll get to know the locals
cultural exchange
I'm going 100% couchsurfing after this
Bill is a wonderful person he host people from all around world all year
organize meetings and hangouts
very pleasant experience
and I recommend it to everybody
this is a big THANK YOU to all our couchsurfers
Bill, Asad and Jay :)
First I was afraid of couhsurfing
but it's superb positive experience
It's not only about saving money for hotels
It's about to see and get a real touch of the city
It's about making new friends from all the world
learn something new from them
it was the most cultural rewarding experience in my life
and from now I'm starting to host other fellow traveler's
because doing good and positive things makes me richer and hapier
What I really love about this is a fact that we have an opportunity to see normal life of locals from all over world
and I must say that these three guys have heart on the right spot
and they thinking is different like ours
and I admire it so much
I also want to be a greater person
and help others
don't think only myself
and throw away all prejudice and fear
If mankind think like Bill, Asad or Jay
the world would be a better place for living
bye-bye
