I hosted my first couchsurfer here in Alsace. Gera is from Russia and she has been studying in Hungary for the past three month.
To be honest I was so surprised when she sent me a message on CS. My roommate and I talked about it and we agreed she must have made a mistake! Who wants to come to visit Guebwiller? Anyways turns out it was no mistake, she prefers the country life so she is on her way couchsurfing through three countries.
Right off the bat we hit it off talking about everything from politics to relationships until 3am! I was going to Munich today so I cooked for us and emptied my fridge :D while Gera taught me some useful Russian phrases about showering lols
It's really interesting hearing her opinions on the situation in Donetsk Ukraine and Russia. Actually she herself lives just on the board to Ukraine so she has intimate knowledge about the situation there.
Anyways it was a good first experience with my first and probably last couchsurfer for the year here since I am leaving soon.
Peace from Guebwiller.
