There is a web site - couch surfing - http://couchsurfing.com/ that helps travelers find couches, or beds, in different places. To join, you offer your couch, if you want. It is very nicely done. The people involved seem to have a wonderful mission. It seems the idea would be to save money. However, meeting people in the different cities is my primary motivation. Whenever I met people on my previous trip, the conversation brightened my day and left memories I cherish to this day.
The people who have agreed to host me, Antoine in Chelles, France and Christine in Dusseldorf, seem to be wonderful people who are willing to open their door to a stranger. In this case, me. From their profile, it seems they have done this many times before.
I will also stay with Evelyne and Paul in Vittel, France and I wonder who will be the next person to offer a couch. What a world!
Started to do some checking in Geneva, Switzerland for a couch. It seems there may not be enough time in Milan and Florence, so Geneva might get skipped.
My host in Paris, who skydives and hosts travelers, said he would like to see the Dylan show as well. I hope to send him some current shows on disc so he can become familiar with the current sound. Anyone else who wants to hear some shows, should let me know. I have a couple.
Eight days plus a few hours and I am off to NYC and then Amsterdam.
