Couchsurfing: Tips from a Superhost

This guy deserves a gold medal :D

What a great guy!! I have 4 siblings and they, as well as my parents, are all excited about the idea so we used to host a lot of through CS back in the days when we were all students and lived in one big house in Novosibirsk, Russia. Once we hosted 2 German guys doing the Trans-siberian railway trip, and at the same time 2 other guys from Israel requested to stay and we agreed. Given our history, we thought it was both amazing and ironic - Germans, Jews and Russians sitting together at our dining table and sharing stories and laughing for hours on end. :)

If I'd ever go to japan, I'll definitely offer a beer to this guy, he is amazingly nice

Even if I were to not stay in his place, I would really like to take Yuta out to dinner and have a conversation with him.. Super cool guy.. Cheers to him!!

"Common sense. That's all I ask for." This is such a WISE answer. I guess it comes from a wisdom that's definitely from the great tradition od the Eastern World.

Dearest Manuel, I‘m the audience from Easy German and by chance noticed this video through your own channel …!! Wow deine Englisch ist sooooo fließend!!! I was totally amazed and enjoyed listening to your talking(that’s my first time hearing you speak English) ich hoffe mein Deutsch kann bisschen besser geworden in die Zukunft und fließend bekommen wie deine Englisch.🙇‍♀️ Thank you for giving me motivation work on language learning!

He is so polite and open minded!! Congrats for having such a nice mentality. I hope this video encourages people to share more and realize that money isn’t everything. Sometimes a nice company or a new friend worth more than a few bucks

Wow Yuta is an angel! I hope he is able to travel all over the world, if he wants, and is treated like a prince!

You are Full of humanity 💐. If you are in our area 🇰🇼 Kuwait is your home welcome . Greetings from kuwait.

Yuta appears to be such a beautiful human with the soul of an Angel! He is wonderful! Thank you so much for this video! I will be traveling solo for the first time and just recently signed up for Couchsurfing and this video put me at much ease. Thank you so much to both of you, I hope I meet amazing people like the both of you on my upcoming solo travels. God Bless!

Omg Yuta!!! You are a great person!!! You deserve the best!

Yuta seems like a kind and interesting guy. Also he has an amazing home!

Wise and very generous gentleman!

Grüße aus Brasilien! Super useful tips, Manuel. Vielle Danke. Amazing and adorable couchsurfing host! Congrats. Schüss

Damn I want to be hosted by this guy

Thanks, that was really informative and interesting.

Agree on personalizing your requests. And I don't like hosting folks who only care about free accommodation -- don't use CouchSurfing in that case! A portion of your message could be copy/pasted. It should include an intro to yourself, details about everyone you are requesting (if you request for a group, please include profile links for everyone involved), arrival info (it matters to me if you won't arrive until 2:00 AM no a work night! I can't host you then!). But then always make sure to have a portion of your request that shows you read your host's profile. Hope everyone who watched this video was inspired to start using CS, if you haven't already started. This coming from a guy who has hosted in NYC, maybe not quite as much as Yuka, but soon approaching 100 :) It has been life changing, amazing, all positive experience.

Amazing tips and what an awesome super host!

He is just amazing! :))

Good video! Thanks for the information.
