Couch surfing became a thing back in 2003 with the launch of an official company called Couchsurfing International Inc. Couch surfing is simple. Instead of staying at hotels in Albuquerque when visiting New Mexico for example, you would call up a local (a member of the couch surfing community) and stay at their home instead, even if you don't know them. Members of the community go online, offer their couch to travelers as they come through.
It's like having a network of distant relatives around the world that can take you in no matter where you go. Instead of blood, the things that bind you together are a mutual love to travel and respect. Strangers travel to foreign lands, find a couch to sleep on for the night, and then move on. The trips are often short, passing through.
First off, if you pull up and ask a valet to take the car to the garage for you, you should tip the driver. The range of acceptable donations run from about two to five dollars. It's especially nice to tip on the higher end of that scale when there's bad weather to work with. Not only does it express an extra measure of gratitude, but it also incentivizes the valet to take special care of the vehicle in bad weather.
If you're looking for the best local places to eat, just ask your host. If you want to go for a night on the town, who better to be your guide than those that own homes in that city-assuming they have the time? Not only that, but you make lasting connections with people around the world, building a network of friends that you couldn't have met any other way. Making acquaintances on a trip make the trip that much better.
You get to see the city from another perspective. You gain a friend that you can share more adventures with in the future. The community has been safe thus far. Travelers are able to protect each other with the website.
Like any rating system for hotels in Albuquerque, crowd rating has its place on the Couchsurfing website. When you're browsing homes to stay in on your travels, you can see if the house has hosted people before, as well as if they hosted 'solo' travelers or not.
On top of being able to see that others visited, you can send those individuals a private message to ask about their experience. What better source to find out about the quality of a service than to find out from past "customers?"
On top of contacting previous visitors, interacting hosts and visitors often leave references for each other, making their opinion clear. The website encourages them to make references, so look for them in the homes you're attempting to visit. These two reference systems combined with your instincts and intuition can help you find an interesting, cultural alternative to checking into hotels in Albuquerque, or wherever you may be. Couch surfing is incredible helpful when looking for a place to stay on an extremely strict budget.
Following these tips will help you give proper amounts of gratuity for services rendered. Fortunately, you can plan how much cash to have on you based on the number of services you're going to ask for. Plan beforehand what services you will order in. Add the suggested amounts up and carry a bit more than your total, just in case you feel inclined to give a bit more for exceptional service.
