Willy Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I used it alot whilst travelling Canada, didnt need all that much to be honest its just an awesome way to meet people. Still in contact with a good number of the guys I stayed with and Im putting one of them up pretty soon. Cant recommend this site enough, just be prepared to meet some "different" people and make sure your completely flexible and not fussy about much. A couch can mean anything from a corner in a room to your own room with breakfast served, be grateful for all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL ! Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 You mean this http://www.couchsurfing.org/ ? So basically, putting up hitch hikers for a night or two? Surely this is a very easy way to get raped or murdered ... or its like one night stand heaven helping spread aids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 the last day: 4 real-life introductions (3 positive, 5 negative) 1 new couches (45.0% of 2 signups) the last week: 36 real-life introductions (27 positive, 48 negative) 8 new couches (44.7% of 18 signups) So you're more than likely going to have a negative experience, like being robbed or yeah raped etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 A friend of mine uses http://www.airbnb.com all the time. Similar concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Sounds well dodgy to me! Bet you get some right weirdos, and I for one wouldn't let some stranger sleep in my house :/. Would have to secure them down or something over night incase they started stealing or raping me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) the last day: 4 real-life introductions (3 positive, 5 negative) 1 new couches (45.0% of 2 signups) the last week: 36 real-life introductions (27 positive, 48 negative) 8 new couches (44.7% of 18 signups) So you're more than likely going to have a negative experience, like being robbed or yeah raped etc. Can you do the maths and tell me how that works? 36 real life intros, 27 positive and 48 negative, erm what? Airbnb is awesome aswell Edited September 4, 2010 by Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbnb is awesome aswell Yeah so 36 people actually met someone else in real life, 27 people had positive contact with someone, not necessarily meeting them in real life and 48 had a negative experience, again they may not of actually met someone could of just been organising a couch to sleep on via a phone and then the person changes their mind.

Aye but hardly a fair stat to show as a true guide for people actually meeting. Pretty f**king simple really, dont meet people that look/sound/hint at being freaks and your sweet!
