Couch surfing

This past weekend I hosted two couch surfers from Prague, Czech Republic. It was a great experience. It was actually my first experience hosting couch surfers and it couldn't have gone any better. I have a feeling that many of you are wondering what couch surfing is. Well, go to this site and it will explain everything. I think it is an absolutely wonderful program. I love how it gives people an opportunity to not only help others, but to also allow some culture into their lives and homes.

The night I hosted Petr and Vaclav (I had a hard time pronouncing it...Vatzlaf is what it sounds like), I was also hosting a birthday party for my "baby" sister's 25th birthday. There were many people at my house and they were very accepting of my couch surfers. Everyone had questions and Petr and Vaclav were very open and had no problem answering questions and carrying on conversations with everyone.

The last couple weeks, some of my friends showed concern about the fact that I was going to allow two complete strangers to stay at my house. One friend even suggested I borrow a gun to put under my bed! Haha! I honestly had zero weird feelings about allowing these two strangers into my home. I told everyone I would be fine and everything would work out. I was right! :)

If any of you are interested in the couch surfing program then I suggest you sign up. It is a great opportunity.
