Couch Surfing – Journey To Success

This is a good post. This post gives truly quality information. I’m definitely going to look into it. Really very useful tips are provided here. Thank you so much. Keep up the good works.

All these thin information are created with lot of qualifications understanding. I like it a lot. This was a useful publish and I think it is rather simple to see from the other feedback as well that this publish is well crafted and useful.

Very nice post.

I never had a chance to travel with my own <a href='http://www.seatsrus.com.au/specials'>sofa bed</a> in order to sleep properly. This is the time to sleep well even if I am not on my own bed at home. I am really amazed with the article since I do not need to rent a room in the hotel just to sleep properly. Through this, I can even save a lot of money. I can sleep outside my vehicle with my family

Actually LewisHowes I love sleeping on sofas as long as it's a 3 seater or bigger, reasonably wide and I can just make myself comfortable.

The best sofas I've slept on were the ones that had these huge fat cushions and they were quite roomy. I prefer them with low arms which double up as built in pillows or headrests.

That said, there's also the lure of having a double bed all to myself... :P

Couches hurt my back :)

Ha ha... great stuff. My ancestors are from the Limerick area -- say Hi to any Henneberry's if you see them --- I believe they go by Henbry over there.

Ack! I totally forgot to mention---
Since you titled the piece, "Couch Surfing - Journey To Success", I wanted to say that Couch Surfing is a massive journey to success for me. I have stayed with some of my business role models, and learned so much from them.

I stayed with Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com, for a week. I've stayed with many of the marketers whom I study (Perry Belcher, Matt Bacak, Jason Moffatt, etc...), I've stayed with many photographers whom I look up to, such as Jeffery Scott (http://www.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm?P_ID=25854 -- warning: many disturbing images.... but you can't argue the talent is mind-blowing).

The success factor is also there because now I am not just handing people my card, and getting there's. Now I meet someone, get to stay in their home, meet their family, see their business, and often go on an adventure with them. The bonding and depth of familiarity that comes with that is a lot bigger than just meeting people somewhere, or talking to them online.

It has been extremely life changing, and I am addicted.

well, dang... I'd have to say that in this case, I'm biased. I love crashing on couches. I'm in my 4th year now, and have been given couches, beds, floor mats, back patios, hammocks, futons, chairs, and of course, sleeping bags. The bed I left behind was a queen size sealy posturpedic with additional memory foam on top. What a dream.... but it hardly ever crosses my mind.

I never miss my bed, because the gift that comes with each couch is a new friend. A new person in my life that can tell me their stories, share new experiences with me, show me around their area, and show me new adventures.

They give me something to share with my blog readers. There are often new photos and videos. Each person has their own circle of friends, which can lead to all sorts of new stories (like last week-- come down to see a friend's gallery exhibit - get to go to poker night, a kegger at a car restoration warehouse, climb a billboard, visit a rotating restaurant, and end up with a speaking gig for next month's social-media event).

All these things make me not even notice the discomfort (if there is any)... and oftentimes, by the time it's actually time to sleep, I'm so tired I don't care what I sleep on.

I'm glad you couchsurf. I'm glad you're promoting to people that it's a great way to travel. I disagree about it being just something to do if one can't afford a hotel.

I think hotels are the thing you do when you can't find a couch. Hotels look the same everywhere you go... and then you just get to go to the tourist traps, etc... While couchsurfing, you get to choose who you stay with. You can base that on mutual interests, and thus practically guarantee that you'll hang with people that interest you. They'll show you places that you'd like... and likely the ones that are not in the tourist guide.

I will give you that hotels give you a lot more privacy :)

I actually love Couch Surfing. I get what your message is....couch surfing on the road to success. I thought I'd plug Couch Surfing. I hosted a couch surfer walking across the US last summer. It was so fun! I am a member, but haven't tried couch surfing in my travels. But hey, I am willing to sleep on a few couches to get to where I want to go!
