你想去看在埃及的金字塔、在巴黎的埃菲尔铁塔和在阿拉斯加的冰川,但又不支付酒店房租?在 2004年,有4个20多岁的年轻人开办了一个网站,来帮助其他人做到这一点。该网站是CouchSurfing.xxx。
这个概念很简单。登录到CouchSurfing网站,选择你的目的地,并找人当地的人允许你睡在他们的沙发上。找一个肯招待你的户主不是很难,合作运营商Daniel Hoffer说。 他说:「我们有近20万成员,分布在200多个国家。」
在最近的一次到访CouchSurfer在曼哈顿的Alex Fisher的公寓,那被视为是一个典型的CouchSurfing情况:一间一卧室的小公寓,在角落处有著垫子。本周,Fisher的公寓在招待两名年轻的女子,她们是来自多伦多的 Amanda Charrion和Silvia Yee。
当Charrion谈及她的CouchSurfing经验时,她说:「这是对经济型的旅行者非常好。」「这让我去旅行,参观新的地方,看到新事物,但也不必太担心所费不菲。」
Fisher是一个完美的户主,向她所有CouchSurfing客人提供地图和饮食的建议,「我只觉得帮助骡友很棒」,她诉说她成为招待户主的动机。
不过,虽然这一切听起来不错,也有一些值得商榷的问题。你真的不知道睡在隔壁房间的人是什么人。唯一能得知招待户主的资料的方法,是通过读取以前的住客在线评论。
Yee很喜欢她的CouchSurfing经验,引用她们父母的话:「招待户主可能是把人斩成碎块的狂魔,但这并没有发生。」
这还没有发生。虽然网站声称CouchSurfing经验只有0.2%是负面的,这可能不足以说服每一个人。

Do you want to see the pyramids in Egypt, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the glaciers in Alaska — and never pay for a hotel room? In 2004, four 20-somethings started a website to help other people do just that. The site is CouchSurfing.xxx.
The concept is simple. Log on to the CouchSurfing website, pick your destination and find somebody there who will allow you to sleep on their couch. You won't have a hard time finding a host, says co-operator Daniel Hoffer. " We have close to 200,000 members and they are in more than 200 countries," he says.
On a recent visit to CouchSurfer Alex Fisher's apartment in Manhattan, a typical CouchSurfing situation was seen: a small one-bedroom apartment with a mat in the corner. This week, Fisher's apartment is host to two young women from Toronto—Amanda Charrion and Silvia Yee.
"It's very good for the shoestring traveler," Charrion says about her CouchSurfing experience. "It allows me to go out and visit new places and see new things where I don't have to worry so much about the cost of everything."
Fisher is a perfect host, offering all her CouchSurfing guests maps and restaurant recommendations, "I just think helping people out is great," she says of her motivation for hosting.
But while it all sounds great, there are some questionable issues. You don't really know too much about the person who is sleeping in the next room. And the only way to check out your host is by reading online reviews written by previous roommates.
Yee, who loves her CouchSurfing experience, quotes their parents' words about the host, "They might cut people into little pieces. But it hasn't happened. "
It hasn't happened yet. Although the website claims that only 0.2 percent of the CouchSurfing experiences are negative, which might not be enough to convince everyone.
