CouchSurfing is great. Halloween can be fun. Shae & Whitney are a couple (my first one!) from the US I had the good luck to host for 3 nights. They left on Sunday — Halloween — when we did a really memorable thing right outside my place. I’ll let Shae do the talking, since she does it so much better than me. It has to do with scary vegetables though, just so you know! And here’s the reference I left them, just as a testament to the real wonder that is CS:
I hosted Shae and Whitney for 4 days. When I met them, I immediately felt like I could trust them completely. They were the first couple I hosted, so I felt the karmic need to return all the great hospitality I had received when travelling together with a loved one. That came out naturally very quickly. Shae and Whitney were excellent, considerate, interesting and interested travellers, passive (in the good sense), open to different suggestions and very relaxed, ready to get to know and take part in Mytilinian student every-day life. I’m pleased that they had a genuinely good time staying with me in this corner of the world! Most of all, I feel this was a more meaningful encounter and that we’ll keep in touch!
