EvgeniySu, this website is not for hospitality exchange. It is a website about another website and organization (CouchSurfing).

Check out http://bewelcome.org if you want to find people to stay with!

if you have ANY idea of how much difference it would make for you to post something like you did above, on CS.. please do it! Seriously. I think such things really, really help.

all the best-
Valerie

Anu, as you know, all the efforts you have put into CouchSurfing are much appreciated. We all know that each and everyone one of us care about CS, and cares about intercultural understanding, it’s in our blood to unite each other under one goal.

I really hope you find your truth on this personal journey of yours and come back even stronger than you already are. I admire your persistence, your insight, and your sincerity to make things better than before. A year ago where were we? I consider the distance we have come a giant leap, and you certainly contributed greatly to this, but we always know that things could have been done better here or there or everywhere.

I hope you keep in touch and please don’t loose your genuine caring spirit, you will be missed…

-Chris

More thanks to Anu, and appreciation.

What a trooper you were to hang in there so long!

We all have regrets about what happened in CS vs. what could have been. But then, we connected with each other, and there are more than enough of us to keep the spirit we share alive.

Whatever you do in the future, you made a big positive impression on the hospitality community that won’t be forgotten. And you demonstrated a degree of integrity that makes me honored to call you a friend. You are always welcome in my home.

To make it official: thank you ANU*! You did not only so much constructive work for CS, you were also fighting bravely “between the lines” to turn things to the better. But maybe some walls are too thick, even for you. Not your fault! I understand your decision and (after talking to you recently) think you’re doing the right thing for you.

Hopefully you get the needed rest before starting new adventures

Waving my Jolly Roger to salute you,
midsch
