Couchsurfing is much more than just hosting or surfing. Even in an exciting city like Melbourne there are times when the streets may be empty and your own friends busy. If you are looking for something to do and new friends, you can participate couchsurfing events. It depends on the city how active the local hosts and visiting surfers are. In Melbourne, for example, the community is quite strong and active.
Anthony thinks every visitor should see at least the famous Queen Victoria Market, The laneways and arcades: “especially centre walk, degraves and the block” she says. He also recommends the Melbourne Cricket Ground while a football or cricket game is on.
With the surfer you can see your own city in a different light. Anthony has been hosting for a year now in Melbourne. “Hosting lets me meet people with differing views to what life is about. I like this as it challenges and extends my view on things. I found that living and working in a place for a while makes it easy to make the daily routine quite habitual. Hosting lets me stop, look around, rediscover and appreciate where I live and show others what I like, love and dislike about where I live. Kind of makes me feel like a traveler in my home town.” He says.
