Seattle,Washington: A Couch Surfer's Utopia

If you are considering couch surfing in Seattle, then you've probably already done your homework.It's a beautiful,clean city where you can have tons of fun,especially in the summer. That's when I was in Seattle.

Now that I'm done with my couch surfing. I enjoy telling all. Although a lot of the experiences were highly enjoyable, the likelihood that I would couch surf again are slim to none. I met a lot of amazing people but I really don't want to spend any night wondering where I will sleep next and if they are going to make my experience enjoyable or not. Besides, over the last couple of years I have been doing very well financially, so it's most likely the case that if I travel I will pay for the place I stay at. I would consider,however, hosting, and I think I'd be one of the hosts that I was happier with during my travels. I would also feel it's a way to give back.Couch surfers have ways of finding out about each other, outside the website. I mean a lot of them go to couch surfing meetings and host plenty of people, or stay with a lot of different hosts, word gets around. I would not be surprised in the least if more than a couple of couch surfers I've actually met have read this blog and know exactly who I am. Some couch surfers I don't have nice things to say about, some I do. The ones I don't say nice things about  will be upset and tell other couch surfers that I am a bad guest.Good. Frankly, I don't give a fuck, I don't intend to couch surf as a guest again.

I stayed with three hosts in Seattle. I don't give any names, but if they were reading this, they would know exactly who they are. The first was a woman in her 30's, the second was a woman in her 20's with two roommates, and the third was a woman in her 20's living alone.

All my hostesses in Seattle were really kind. The first woman I stayed with had a great sense of humor. When I first got to her place she asked me if I minded if she smoked pot because she was a pothead. I thought to myself " wow a couch surfer is a pothead, how unusual" of course I am being sarcastic. She was attractive, in her 30's like I mentioned, and she asked me if I wanted to smoke some pot. I said yes I will smoke some pot with her. I smoke some pot and we talked and she was so nice. I mean she laughed at every bad joke I told her, and she did not take things too seriously. She was a happy person who liked to have fun. I stayed with her for three or four nights, we watched movies, drank alcohol, and smoked weed while joking around. No nothing else happened, she was not attracted to me, she was honest with me and told me she prayed on young boys, younger than her. Maybe 18 to 26. I'm not that young anymore. It was a pleasure and she even asked me if I was going to stay another night but I told her I had already made a commitment to another hostess.

Second hostess was not home much, but when she was home she was very polite and she also had a great sense of humor. She let me have lots of personal space.She had two roommates. I remember one her roommates was an artist who always seemed to be high. He was pleasant though, but I wonder what he was on because sometimes he was way too pleasant and his voice sounded too weird, maybe ecstasy,I suspect.I never really asked him because I thought it would be rude.

Third hostess was a lovely person, with very pretty green eyes. She lived in the basement of a house, and the first night I stayed there, we went out and bought some food and wine.I bought one bottle of wine and she bought another one. Once we got back to her place, we started drinking and at one point she told me her shoulders hurt, I asked her if she needed a massage and she said yes, which led to kissing,which led to sex. I stayed at her place for six days.

Seattle is good to couch surfers.


Seattle is just a good place,even to homeless people. One of the first things you will see when you get to Seattle is homeless people. Sure, you will see a lot of nice things to, but there are lots of homeless people, because Seattle is good to them, and Seattle is expensive so it's not to difficult for someone to lose their apartment and end up on the streets, but there are still plenty of services and places to stay for the homeless.

It's not a huge city, but there are a lot of things to do and it's beautiful. Even the library was the nicest library I have ever seen. Not as big as the one in Los Angeles or New York, but more aesthetically pleasing.

So if you want to couch surf in Seattle, go without fear...
