Thank You For Hosting Me

I had a great time with all of my hosts, whether I had met them previously, or through Couchsurfing. I highly recommend this social network. Before my trip, I hosted two people and wrote a 3-part piece about the experience. It has remained one of the most popular articles on the blog the whole time!

I would like to recognize the following hosts for being so generous with their time, and often money:

Sam – Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia

Beni – Brisbane, Australia

Michael and Anne – Trinity Beach, Australia (the uncle of my friend Michele)

Bonnie – Syndey, Australia

Ian – Singapore

Michael, my host in Trinity Beach, is the port manager of Cairns

Charlie – Chengdu, China (friend from home, and longest couchsurf at 2 weeks)

Hannes – Cape Town, South Africa

Cristal – Cape Town, South Africa (met on the plane from Doha, and she invited me to stay with her)

Megan – Cairo, Egypt

Geraldine – Brussels, Belgium

Laura – Paris, France

Stefan – Bern, Switzerland

Calen – Geneva, Switzerland

Magali and Sebastien – Biganos, France

Yair – Madrid, Spain

Laura – Bogota, Colombia
