Couch Surfers!

We hosted two of LIz's friends from Korea for two nights last week. Hayley and Brooke were wonderful house guests. Bella was overjoyed to have some new faces and playmates for a few night. 
Brooke has been traveling through Europe for the last 5 weeks and has been couch surfing... Yes, that's right surfing on couches! I had never heard of it before, but it would probably have been something I would have done in my traveling days through Central America and Europe way back when. There is a whole network for couch surfing... a website, personal profiles and all. I was a tad freaked out about it at first, but the more Brooke explained it to us, I can see how it would be a fun and economical way to travel.  

Anyway, I don't quite know if we'll open our house up to couch surfing strangers... but these two were a lot of fun! 
Thanks for visiting Brooke and Hayley. Hope to see you again sometime in the next 3 years.

Hi! Couch surfing is a very interesting idea for travelers, especially those who want to enjoy a new experience. By hosting home stay or couch surfing you get to connect and learn a lot about people, places and life styles. I'd suggest you check out http://volunteerstays.com/ is an online platform that matches hosts to like-minded travelers and would be helpful in devising ways to make your hosting interesting for your future guests.
