Officially, Couchsurfing is free, but it's really only free for inconsiderate guests. 

Polite guests and anyone with common sense will give back to their host. 

When I wrote "How To Be A Good Couchsurfing Guest and Host," the response was overwhelming:

It hit the Top 2 in Google when you search for "Couchsurfing guest" - it's even above Couchsurfing's own website!

Dozens of Couchsurfing hosts linked to the article in their profile saying, "Please follow this Francis Tapon's advice."

Couchsurfing.com itself syndicated the article on their website.

So I struck a nerve. 

In this podcast, I hit some of the same points I hit in the article. I recommend that anyone who wants to use Couchsurfing listen to this podcast and read the article. 

I love Couchsurfing because it's helped me gain cultural insights for my books. I highly recommend Couchsurfing, as long as you follow my advice.
