CouchSurfing!
September 15th, 2008
Another thing I feel I need to write something about is this. On Day of the 10th of September six people turned up at my house, two Swiss Italians, two French Girls and a German couple. Isn’t the world wonderful.. www.couchsurfing.com
here’s how it happened About a month or so ago I received a message along the lines of this:
I am interested in surfing your couch!
Hi, I present myself: my name is Matt, 22, I come from
Switzerland. In September I will be near the city of
Exeter, with a friend of mine. Could you host us?
Then one week ago I get this message:
Hi !
I am Pauline. I am Frsnch, and I am discovering this
concept of couch surfing (I met a friend this summer
in Africa who is a couch surfing addict !). ….. Are you going to be in
Exeter at the beginnig of september ?
I am waiting to hearing from you…
Bye
Pauline
Then a day ago I received this:
ARRIVAL DATE: 10.09.08
NUMBER OF PEOPLE: 2
ARRIVING VIA: We just rented a car!! Whoooo!!
Hey Joe!
me and my girlfriend Britta are coming to Exeter on the
10th of september, probably in the evening (we’re
crisscrossing over the country somewhat, so its dodgy
to tell when exactly!).
Kind and warm regards,
Michael and Britta




Hey Joe! Wow, couch surfing does sound like a really cool way to connect and meet with a lot of interesting people! I have to give it a try when I visit you guys! =D
