Can't find it?

Any ideas?

The guy hitching, that I picked up outside Calais (not an immigrant / asylum seeker btw), and gave a lift to Edinburgh so he could get to a party in Glasgow, was on Couch Surfing and to be honest, he was a right pain.

Refused to get out of the car in Abingdon, stayed over in Edinburgh at mine then begrudged spending £2.50 on the bus to Edinburgh city centre to get across to Glasgow... .

A self centred scrounger if ever there was one. Says more about him than other Couch Surfers, but I wouldn't be that open to another scrounging individual like him rolling around the world on a free ticket and others goodwill giving nothing in return. ...

you agreed to giving him a lift and he guilted (i presume) you into giving him a floor to kip on.....

manupacetamol required.

fwiw ive been on both ends of couchsurfing.

its ok as long as you can be social - Ive had a couple who simply want to doss and want no interaction with you - thats not what couchsurfings about imo.

My brother used couch surfing while trekking across 'Merica. He then asked if he could put my address down to reciprocate... er, no.

what if they steal your stash or, worse, your bikes?
