Couchsurfing rocks! Looking for a sofa to sleep on in
several neighborhoods in Sao Paulo.
I have hosted people in the past thru Couchsurfing.com and have had good
experiences all around. This is the first time I am searching to stay with a member
(woman or couple) on this site. I do not have reservations yet most people I
share the idea with shudder in ….fear, trepidation, worry, horror… It is an
international social networking membership to host or seek a place to park for
a few days at a time. There is no charge and yet it is respectful to offer
something in return for a pillow, blanket and pad. They also offer social meetings
and gatherings for travelers who are seeking companionship for touring,
surfing, conversing over a beer or coffee.
Travelers have a unique outlook on life. An opportunity to
visit other cultures and gain insight and awareness of self is a big slice of
the pie. I will go to the Couchsurfers gathering on the 28th of this
month to meet up with the crew from Floripa. One guy from France, another from Greece, a woman from Argentina and several Brasilians
who adore traveling and meeting foreigners. Never know where my next path will
take me so you had better be prepared!
