Couchsurfing - bezpieczna forma podróży
Poziom:
Temat: Podróże
When I tell people about CouchSurfing their first reaction is,
aren't you afraid?
You bring this stranger into your house
and share the house with them together
You don't even know the people!
That's unbelievable!
When we started traveling in Asia we
were a bit different feeling about CouchSurfing
When I talk to most new
people about CouchSurfing,
most of them feel that it doesn't sound like it's possible
But we tried and we had an amazing experience.
It's all about trusting.
To bring someone into your home that you've never met before
can be a little bit scary when
you first start looking at CouchSurfing.
By looking at references you can see what experiences
people have had with that CouchSurfer.
References are important
for me because I want to be safe when I travel alone.
I leave a reference
sort of immediately after just so that the memories are fresh.
It's not just about saying someone's great
but you actually say what you've experienced.
I joined three months ago and
the first thing I did was actually get verified.
My name is real.
The address is real, the residence is real.
It's really a complete paper trail.
It means that person has gone the extra step to
engage in the CouchSurfing community,
and that they are happy to say this is who I am,
this is where I live, and confirm everything.
Because there's no obligation to host or surf or do anything,
everything is your choice and you're empowered through that.
I recommend that we have to go talking together first,
and then you can feel like this person is good.
It's really important to try and find a host who
actually matches you and your outlook on life.
The CouchSurfing profile is really important.
You have an opportunity to put your likes
and your greatest experiences.
And you also can see from the picture,
is this a nice person?
I think a combination of the vouching system,
verification system, and the referencing,
I think so long as they follow that and follow their better judgment,
there shouldn't be any problems.
CouchSurfing can bring an element of safety to traveling
which some people may not think of immediately.
Your host knows your environment so well in that local area.
They can show you around,
they know where the hospitals are,
they make you aware of which street is safe to go.
You can see things and be exposed to things
that are off the beaten trail.
You are safe to have a different experience.
I've CouchSurfed single,
I met my husband through CouchSurfing,
I've CouchSurfed pregnant, and I'm CouchSurfing with our toddler now.
I think sometimes we forget how great people are,
we have all the horror stories in the media and you get
a little bit protective and worried about the outside world.
But CouchSurfing reminds you how great the outside world can be.
