Create and use a couchsurfing account

Here is my couchsurfing profile.

Like Facebook, Couchsurfers create  profiles to attract users of similar interests. Unlike facebook,  Couchsurfers are rated by other Couchsurfers . This was designed as a safety feature to weep out undesirable surfers.  Couchsurfers  can have their ids and addresses verified bythe website, another safety measure. This is intended to increase the likelihood of Couchsurfers  finding hosts. With over five million registers surfers in several different countries, Couchsurfing has grew since Casey Fenton, in1999, came up with the idea after travelling from Boston to Iceland and finding shelter with University of Iceland students whom he had previously emailed.

 

Still, In a more perfect world, Craigslist users should not have to be worried about being robbed by criminals who placed bogus online ads to lure them into traps, but there have been reported robberies and even homicides of Craigslist users. My gut feeling of inviting stranglers over to spend the night might be inviting trouble. Still, I am reluctant to be too critical of couchsurfing. Couchsurfing does provide a worthy public service by finding hosts for people who become homeless as a result of natural disasters, and I have friends who met their spouses online. These marriages seem to fare no better or worse than marriages of people who met in a traditional way.
Perhaps Couchsurfing will eventually have as much impact on the world as Facebook and Twitter had on the Arabs Spring. In this period of globalization, perhaps the kindness of strangers is what the world needs to further tear down the walls that divide us.
