Although i am in travel business, it took a while until the news reached me. Quite unconventional way of traveling, skeptics might say.

Having browsed through several member profiles and reading through testimonials of people who have chosen to travel this way, I am convinced unconventional is not bad at all.

Hi Maskarm,

What a great experience, girl! Your pictures motivated me to try couchsurf someday to visit Asia. Thanks for sharing the information. Enjoy your travel. Bye.

Musk,
I thought you needed a visit to a shrink when you discussed these thoughts with me years ago but I now see the point and this is one heck of an experience you’re sharing with the rest of us, who would never have a clue about most of these places you go thru. My hats off to you, girl – I admire you for your courage to follow your heart’s desire and dedication to fulfill your dream. Have a safe journey and hope to see you share it with an even wider audience in a journal, someday!!! Au revoir!!!

I like that. Something I really want to do but don’t know where to start. You break the paradigm girl. Keep up what you doing and in the end; everything will come your way.

Meskerem, Selam Lanchi Yihun!!

I have never heard about “Caochsurfing” before. How interesting it sounds, Thank you for putting this information on the net. I always dreamt about traveling around the world, if it wasn’t for financial difficulty. You carry on this interesting and adventurous work.

I give you a lot of props for couchsurfing with people you don’t even know. I’m glad you are having a great time with the network that you have created but I think this article would have been complete if it included the other dark side of couchsurfing and how to protect yourself from situations like that. Specially, coming from an actual couchsurfer would have been a great help. I must say though you have a lot of guts to do what you are doing. Make sure you keep yourself safe.

This is wonderful. I was just browsing through Google News and discovered this Magazine. Although it is clearly geared toward Africans in the West, I enjoyed most of the stories here. I truly appreciate your adventures spirit, Maskarm. I am a travel junky as well and I have always wanted to travel to Africa. But I never seemed to have saved enough money to do it. Now, thanks to you, I will look into Couchsurfing. Thank you. Please let me know if there are things that I should watch out for.

It sounds very interesting. Can I take my family couchsurfing?
