    Any couchsurfers here?

    As the title says. I am a member of the couchsurfing community

    https://www.couchsurfing.org/index.html

    We have hosted a few people and had great fun doing it and for our upcoming trip to new zealand would like to couchsurf as much as possible. Not so much to save money, (that,s a bonus though) but as way of meeting the locals and finding out about their local areas etc.

    Was wondering if anyone here is a member (or even if your not) and if you would be interesting in hosting us overnight as we make our way around both islans in Feb/Mar

    have already got a few couches lined up on the Nth Island, but none of them are bike riders. Would be cool to hook up with a few bike riders and perhaps go for a ride etc.
    p.s. I have seen quite a few posts here where people have offered to host people, but they were quite old and i am not sure if the offers still stand, so thought would I start a new thread.

    Cheers

    Always a bed at my place ... or a couch if preferred ... I'm in Wellington.

    Yeah, we are newbie Couchsurfers too, but sorry no use to you as we are (Kiwi's) presently in Bahrain. We joined more to host people, - but may use it also in a year or 2 as we travel.

    Our thread may be old, but we still host motorcyclists. We could be able to offer you two a bed for the night but it would depend on when you were passing through as we've got several car (yes, but they're American/classic cars!) events both months. Let us know if any of the North Island beds in our area don't pan out.

    By the way, I thought at first you meant the posters were quite old rather than the posts and got a tad indignant!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
