    Heya,

    I don't know if its the right section but I wanna know who already test it? I really want to experiment it in the future to visit "for free" and meet new people.

    People who did do it let me know how it is please. Is it a really safe way to visit a foreign country and stuff?

    Let me know.

    See ya mates.

    Hi guys sorry for my delay :oops: but now I can explain to ya what is properly "Couchsurfing"

    CouchSurfing is a worldwide network for making connections between travelers and the local communities they visit. You only need to register on their website www.couchsurfing.com and you can begin to do your search for your next holiday trip :)

    Membership in this organization is free (good point!!) and is obtained simply by registering on the website. The core activity of the organization is exchange of accommodation. Acting as a host, a member offers the possibility of accommodation at his or her leisure; it is not required, but obviously it is encouraged. Acting as a surfer (guest), a traveller may search for and request accommodation at his or her destination. Accommodation is entirely consensual between the host and surfer, and the duration, nature, and terms of the surfer's stay are generally worked out in advance to the convenience of both parties. It is also expected to be free; no monetary exchange takes place except under certain circumstances (e.g. the surfer may compensate the host for food).

    Is that good for ya??
