When I was young my family were hosts for an organisation called Servas which was set up to promote international understanding. Our experience was mostly good and it was great for us kids to get exposed to different cultures. Most people stayed 2 nights - 1 night is too short, longer can be hard work for the hosts. Most memorable were the people who cooked for us food from their country. I had my first Tacos that way! .-= Family Breaks´s last blog ..<a href="http://family-breaks.org.uk/overseas/balkan-holidays/" rel="nofollow">Balkan Holidays</a> =-. Great Articles.

Quite unconventional way of traveling, skeptics might say. Having browsed through several member profiles and reading through testimonials of people who have chosen to travel this way, I am convinced “unconventional” is not bad at all.

I found your article so comprehensive that it could be tweaked to apply to a few situations. I hope I am a good couchsurfing ambassador, I think the system is great and I try to put in as much as I get out. I also feel quite privileged when I am being hosted as at the end of the day my hosts have chosen to open up their home to me and I don't want to abuse that.
