- Last week, I posted a video of my trip to Paris in 2013, and how I was able to travel around Europe for 2 weeks without paying anything for accommodation. In this video, I'm sharing with you the secret.
Note: When I first joined the community in 2011, membership was free. But you could make an optional donation of (I think) around $10 to get your account verified. A verified account was not compulsory but earned you more credibility and increased your chances to receive invitations.
However, since Covid happened, they have started to ask new members for a contribution of $14.29 per year, to keep the company afloat. This amount may vary, depending on which country you're from. I'm not sure if they will continue the practice after the pandemic is over, but in any case I think it's still good value for your money especially if you travel a lot. I will update this page if there are any changes. In the meantime, stay safe! 🙂
How creative you are 👌👌 and the info you provide is excellent god bless you and stay safe :)
Hi, Ghazala. Hope you found the info useful. Thank you for your support! ☺️
@@UmmiGoesWhere 😊😊
I never heard about that couch surfing but i was realise in movies by the another name . Thank you so much for details
You're welcome, Vasuv Vasuv! There are a few other alternatives to Couchsurfing that works almost the same way. 🙂
My account is not updated on couch surfing
It's crashed
Good informations. Vervdetailed. Thanks Umi
Thank you, Habibah. I hope you found the information useful 🙂
Hope all around the world you visit in future ...!
Best of luck ❤️
I hope so too. Thank you for your well wishes 😊
I have heard of it, but it would make me nervous! It is a great way to explore new areas for sure
Yes, it is, DQ Family Travel. I understand that it may not be for everyone, but the Couchsurfing community is very diverse. Some of the hosts can be families who are eager to meet/host other families. 🙂
this is nice! i never heard about couchsurfing. it is more fun when we have someone we can get to know when we travel alone.
Exactly! Traveling solo doesn't mean you have to be alone all the time. It actually provides ample opportunity to meet people. And a great way to do so is by staying with locals.
1st time knowing about this. Anyway jaga diri baik2 Ummi..
Thank you, Ana. Semoga bermanfaat. 🙂
Wow 49 countries awesome
So nice 👍 ❤️ 😊
Thank you. I wish for more 😁
Good sharing. Great for those who are into this type of travel style. Not me though :p
I agree that this may not be for everyone. Personally, I like connecting with the locals when I travel. It makes my trip more meaningful as I get to see beyond the typical tourist attractions.
Wow jalan jalan obersea kipidap more place as u can ummi goes where
Thank you! Yes, I plan to visit as many countries as I can once Covid is under control.
God bless you, Search the all world.
May God bless you too, Bk Joshi!
Heard about it but never tried it.im a solo traveler yet all my host had been people i already knew from the country I choose to visit
Lucky you! I wish I had more friends living abroad 😄. Anyway, staying with strangers is fun in its own way as you get to make new friends. I hope you'll give it a try too someday.
@@UmmiGoesWhere definitely worth a try 😉
I hope the Sydney experience was not awkward
It wasn't, Pat Ce. My experience with Australian hosts was actually very 'enlightening' and memorable (in a good way). 😁
Could also do volunteer for accommodation and sometimes even for food ..
Yes, you can. I've always wanted to try Workaway and WWOOF, but I don't usually stay at one place long enough to do that. 😕
Hahaha nak ikut u travel la lepas nie... Tp kalau i ikut u, dah x jadi solo traveler... jadi duo hahahah...
Anyway... thanks untuk info ini... But itu la.. i sendiri rasa segan nak tinggal rumah orang for Free.. mesti i akan hulur duit sikit even i tidur rumah kawan i sendiri.
Hahaha, tu la, nanti jadi duo la pulak kan. Anyway, konsep Couchsurfing ni memang tak boleh hulur atau minta bayaran. Kalau rasa nak contribute something, boleh la bawa buah tangan, offer untuk belanja makan, atau tolong apa2 yang patut. Biasanya saya bagi souvenir dari Malaysia atau masak untuk diorang.
hi
I am nuruddin
Hi, Nuruddin. Nice to meet you 🙂
Hi ummi, would you be my host if I travel to Malaysia? 😊
Hi pandu budi. Unfortunately, I'm staying in a small space, and for personal reasons, I would prefer hosting female guests only. But I'd be happy to meet up and show you around if I'm free. 😁
@@UmmiGoesWhere Terimakasih ummi... I'd be happy to meet you one day 😊
