I'm gonna have to turn you down on the suggestion though, since I only want to host people I've talked with through CouchSurfing; know are reliable and so forth. I'm not saying I think you're not reliable or anything, but since we live four people here I can't just invite people who has read my blog into our shared home without any further knowledge of who they are... if I knew who you were it'd be a different thing but now I have no idea so it would be strange explaining it to the people I live with. Hope you understand! /Karin Hi Carmen, thank you for your nice compliments!

I love reading about your life and looking at your beautiful pictures/outfits. You're very inspiring and make me want to live more 'thoughtful' (like think about what I consume/eat) and creatively. I live in a tiny studio with my boyfriend & we have no extra room for people to sleep... But i'd love to try couch surfing! I'm just not sure it's allowed if you don't offer up a place yourself...? I'd love to come over to sweden with my boyfriend and stay with your collective for a few days, if you would like that and if there's room for two people of course :) We are from Holland (Utrecht), 23 and 26, I study art history an my boyfriend Abel studies interactive design. We both love movies, I read all the time, and Abel plays computer games a lot. I'm going to look into the couchsurfing website tonight but I have to go now because I have a lecture in 20 minutes! Liefs (with love in Dutch) Carmen hi Karin,

I'm in CouchSurfing! I've been active for a while there now, almost two years... even to the point of becoming City Ambassador for Helsinki. We've managed to get a pretty strong community here, we have weekly meetings (yeah, in our tiny little city of less than a million people), we have tons of other meetings, our travellers always find couches and we've only had great feedback. And when I'm back in Marseille I also try to organise things, it's always so much fun. I've never actually had to search for couch because for most of my travels the hotel is already paid but I've hosted quite a few people, I love showing people where to go off the beaten path, it's pretty cool. (I actually wrote a whole post once about my experiences in CS and my conclusion was "It's an amazing thing as long as you don't start looking into the higher spheres", that's the only bad thing I can say about CS.)

We have a policy that we can have up to 3 couchsurfers at a time and the people we've had to stay are all so varied and interesting! I watched one girl as she played accordian last week, and I've learned yoga and cooking skills from other surfers. It's so neat!
