TIPS!!! : http://www.couchsurfing.org/tips.html

唯一負面couchsurfing experience:

即使不是在對方家裡住, 大家在同一個地方旅行, 相約見面(布拉格的意大利男生); 約出來喝咖啡/ 啤酒聊天; 詢問交通/行程; 對方打算到中國/ 香港玩… 總在couchsurfing上認識不同的人. 偏偏, 自找負面經驗…

每次說起COUCHSURFING, “香港地方那麼小, 怎去接待別人?”

有一晚, 搜尋香港的host, 發現一個和我住在同一區的男生, 接待過不少旅客, 大家都說他友善. 生活中毫無相交點的人都可以在couchsurfing遇上, 成為朋友. 於是, 我發了一個信息給這個鄰居:

Hi 屯門人 ?

=) 我可以打ICQ language啦?
just wonder香港人有乜野地方俾人surf =p ?
你屋企人唔mind?
無聊到亂search host in hk既Kay =P

得到回應, 呆了…

這就是對travellers”友善”的人給我的回覆. 香港稱為”好客之都”, 果然沒錯, 他的”好”只能用來待客嘛.

My Experience:

FRUEHAUFSTEHERIN
Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Kay stayed with me at the beginning of her trip to Europe. She is a very nice girl, it was fun chatting with her and she adapted pretty well to my tight schedule. Enjoy travelling and see you soon!

 “Rahel is a nice lady, my first host in CS. I stayed 3 nights at her place, and just feel like home. She is a very considerable and caring person. She brought me to have apple wine with her friends at my last night in Frankfurt. Sure, we'll meet again =)”

Sebastian von Sauter
Kassel, Germany

"It's a pity I didn't meet Sebastian in person, but glad to meet his lovely family. Berit is so kind and caring. Noa is cute and smile as an angel. Anna spent sometime traveling around with me. We did some talks and she smiles a lot. really sweet.
I'm sorry that the Sababurg, the place we took a long journey to, was under renovation... Thanks all."

  Lion H.
 Bremen, Germany

The time with Kay was great, although I had to work a lot we spent some precious time. We had a full house during her stay but she fitted in perfectly and very helpful.
Looking forward to meet you again !

"Lion hosted me for 3 days and 2 nights. Provide me a home-feel stay. It's much more than what I supposed!
I just love being with him and friends ! Looking forward to seeing you again."

 Robert Frenz
Berlin, Germany

"Rob is a cool guy, with old records, old stuff, and old... in his flat. I miss him and the pizza."

BASS.T
 Berlin, Germany

Kay has awesome blue eyes, even though she doesn't like hello kitty and her eyes are fake. Nice and pleasant guest. I whish a nice staying in Europe.
basti.

"Nice host. Maybe Basti would love a Hello Kitty as a gift =)"

Malgorzata Kuzniar
 Wroclaw, Poland

Kay is a very positive and optimistic person, very enthusiatic about the food she's served and eager to help in preparing it :) I am happy you liked it in my city and my flat. I'll surely send you the recipe for betrrot soup :)

"Meg picked me up at the station, took me home, and served me with tasty soup. =) Thanks.
She is a great host. Considerable and caring. Her flat is cool! Her cat is more COOL!
p.s. When I went to Krakow, I tried to find the soup. But it tastes BAD. Meg, would you give me your recipe =)"

Marek Godawski
 Krakow, Poland

Considerate, respectful and always up to a good conversation. Well organized girl:) wish I hadn't been overloaded with work and weather was nicer so we could spend more time sightseeing and cruising the city together;)

"Marek picked me up at a rainy night. We talked a lot. He is knowledgeable, lively and pleasant. He gave me a map, and also some advice on my days in Krakow."

Ionica Ghiman
Baia Mare, Romania

"Ionica hosted me with everything I need, oxygen, food, water, friends, mum (I miss Eva), translation, chocolate, cake..."

Andrea Mark
 Brasov, Romania

Having Kay over was like having a sister. She is extremely well mannered, adaptable and just simply adorable. It was such a good experience to host her, my family and friends loved her. Thanks for the Japanese and the ginger tea and for teaching me how to make Chinese noodles! Even if we used Italian spaghetti and Tunisian chilly oil, it turned out fabulous. It was so interesting to find out so many things about the Asian lifestyle.
Oh and if you want to make her really happy, take her to a cake shop ;).
See you again in Hong Kong one day.

"I'm so lucky to be Andrea's first surfer. She is cute, active, and considerate. She prepared everything I need, ncluding chocolate & ice cream. We hanged out, talked for hours and played board game with her friends. When she is not going out with me, she prepared detailed transport info.
I miss her."

OVY007
 Bucharest, Romania

Kay is my first surfer and even though I was very short on time, we did enjoy some little together (most of it for talking :). She is discrete and very nice person.
Also, thank you for showing me how to use the chopsticks =)
... I don't know about the breakfast though, but that was the only thing left in the fridge :P

"I surfed Ovidiu's place on weekdays, and he was busy working. But he still spent time on my route suggestion, breakfast preparation, Japanese dinner and talkingsss. He is nice and considerate. Here also thanks the referral of Cristina."

 ANDREI IOAN
 Sibiu, Romania

"Andrei and Ana provided me a comfortable shelter during my long journey. And I was so lucky to see the opening of the festival in Sibiu. It was great! Andrei gave me clear instructions on routes and directions. Thanks again !"

Bernhard Katzmann
 Budapest, Hungary

"Bernhard is a "professional" CS host. He prepares everything a surfer needs. You can also find the message board, that is the whole wall in the room!
I left Budapest on Sunday, and he woke up in early morning to bring me to the bus station!"

GERTRUDENHüTTE
 Vienna, Austria

Very positive nice and lovely person. Was really a great pleasure to have her here.

"A lovely family with a cute house for surfers. They hosted my friend and I for 3 days and provided us more than we need.
Thanks for the cakes again."

Peter Bauer
 Vienna, Austria

A charming girl from Hongkong with magic eyes, which can be changed to all colors ;) We had a realy good time together, even if it was too short to talk about all our interests. :(
She is same sweet, as the cakes from the famous austrian sweet-manufacturers, which we judged and compared with our selfmade cakes. Conclusion: Sacher-Torte is only famous, but can have much better sweets in Austria. We also found out, that hot weather is not so good for creamy desserts, in a very funny way! :)

After a long time traveling through europe, she and her friend Yue enjoyed the offer, to get some spicy Thai food from the "room-service"(me).

Kay is a funny, intelligent girl, always smiling, polite and honest. A pleasure to have her as a guest.
Miss her and she is a reason for taking a trip to Hongkong and meet her again :)

--=Peter=--

"Peter is a funny guy. We talked til mid night.
Thanks for introducing the Thai food to me, and teaching Yue and me how to make the cake.
I enjoy being with Peter. If I go Vienna agin, may I join a Thai cooking workshop for free. HAHA.
p.s. Peter has a lovely cat."

Martin Hrubeš
 Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

"Martin & Marika hosted me even when they are going on travel the next day. They are caring and warm couple. Martin also showed me how to make the "Zelnak/ zelna placka" (biscuit). Thanks!"

EASTSIDER
 Prague, Czech Republic

Very quiet, respectful, and polite girl. I didn t even notice she was here, cos we were watching football all the time, and she was playing with her computer.haha.

A caring host, always concern how you feel/ think;
A "courior" help sending me some stuff left at his place.
A football fans.

Thanks for eveerything!"

WendyArne
 Munich, Germany

It was nice to have Kay stay with us. She is very friendly and considerate, and prepared us a yummy meal one evening.
She's got a deep sleep because the constuction noises in front of our house didn't seem to bother her.

"Wendy and Arne are a kind couple. Always try best to give advise, help if any problems. We played board game when Mexico vs. France =P"

Carl Ruf
 Dinkelsbuehl, Germany

Kay was very friendly, interested, nice and easygoing. It was interesting getting a lot of information of here live China and here trips.

"Carl is a "ready-to-host" =P
Thanks for everything, especially the day trip to Nurnburg, "Beatles on Board" in theatre, ice cream, and the Indian dinner.
*Dinkelsbuhl is really nice! *"

DANY181
