Couch surfing connects travellers around the world and, if you so desire, gives you the chance to let them crash on your couch. You can also be hosted when you are travelling which in my opinion is a great way to see the world. For travellers and hosters this is a great way to meet people and share travel and life experiences. There is no obligation and you decide if you want a particular person to stay. There is more to the couch surfing project than hosting or staying on a couch so check out the website, couchsurfing, for more details.
We currently have our first couch surfers staying with us. They are a great couple who are travelling much of Asia. Miguel is Spanish and his girlfriend Asta is from Finland. They left Europe and have spent 3 months navigating their way through Russia, Mongolia, China and now Vietnam. Listening to their stories over a few beers has been really enjoyable. Hopefully I have been able to make their trip in Hanoi fun and interesting as well.
All in all our first couch surfers experience has been a success and we plan to continue having people from around the world come and stay with us. If you are a traveller coming to Hanoi, are laid back and enjoy a laugh you can log onto the website and check out my profile.
Definitively our days in Vietnam were marked in a very positive way by your hospitality and friendship.

Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Fly,
ReplyDeleteI don't know anyone specifically. I would just jump on the website and see the kind of people in those areas. Have a great trip. I have been to all those places (apart from Nha Trang). You will love it.
