connecting with cool and crazy people who like the idea of couchsurfing takes few hours of enriched conversation. This conversation is rich with stories. A real crazy unusual interesting life story; comedy, drama, action, adventure, romance, violence, sex, drug, religion and Open minded. I prefer getting to know the individual rather than group conversation. "Open minded" is the most popular phrase on couchsurfing.
Many people like to share their love for cultural exchange within couchsurfing. Some people antagonize it for being a dating site with negativity. Some definitely spend more time complaining about bad experiences. Yet, they all still do it and active.
The fun from the experience obviously outweigh complaints. While it is facebook's mission to make the world a more open place, I think couchsurfing does a better job at it. This takes small effort to screen and weed out some not so committed people.
Inviting or accepting a couchsurfer to my home or meet and bond for that small window of time is precious because there is always a risk of not liking them. Nevertheless, greater the risk, greater the reward. Somehow, couchsurfing is collection of people who believe in this idea. Leaving your comfort zone to explore the new world come with risk, pushing boundaries require courage, yet couchsurfing is salt on travel to make its flavor more delicious.
Today I met my first surfer. It was difficult to hide my excitement. Her name is conny Parker or nia parcer. She has different names. I met her at her hotel. We talked about USA, travel stories, work and plan for travel in Orlando. While she desired clean places and liking to big malls in states, she didn't talk about money. Only once. While talked about her dislike to old, non maintained clubs in Vienna, she didn't make judgmental opinion on people. I liked.
I am excited to show her around Orlando, Disney and universal. It will be My first time for all as well I'm looking forward to getting to know this area.
