Couchsurfing through a trip in Turkey?
Hey folks,
I'm wondering if there's anyone here who did use couchsurfing throughout a trip (or stayed mostly at CS hosts). I'm thinking on exploring Turkey a bit this year for about 10-12 days (out of 16 days ride) and I'm considering doing it alone. I do have a rough plan, but I don't want to stress sticking to it and want to handle it flexible (I'll also have camping equipment with me, just in case). In the recent years I mostly end up touring alone for various reasons, but I hate talking to myself after a few days. So I'd be glad to meet locals to learn more about their country, culture, cusine and experience Turkey the way that differs from mainstream tourism. Of course it'd be great to meet local riders, too!
I was checking couchsurfing.org recently - this is a concept I've heard about, but never tried. Does anyone have first hand experience in this?
Any suggestions are welcome!
Ride safe!
Cheers, neu
