In the past week, I’ve had the pleasure of hosting three different couchsurfers. Sunday, I had a French guy stay a couple of nights. He lived and worked in Banff and was hitchhiking to Newfoundland to see the area. The day he left, I hosted a young Czech man who had pretty much the exact same story. Currently I have a guy from Utah/Hawaii crashing here. He’s in the area doing work to help people recover from all sorts of ailments, as he recovered from a personal brain injury himself, making his way up to an honors degree in psychology.

Being able to learn from all these peoples backgrounds, points of view and travels, and being able to share the idea of  “chiac”, among others, has been nothing short of a great exchange. I hope to someday be a surfer myself, and hop around anywhere in the world for next t nothing in accomodation costs, and being able to really learn from locals wherever I go.

I want to suggest that you join Couchsurfing, but I see that most of the traffic hitting this website is frm Moncton, and I don’t want you guys to hog all the potential surfers!

Cheers!
