Although I'm not planning to host again anytime soon I wouldn't mind participating in some of the CS activities, it looks like fun.!<br /><br />Thank you:)<br /><br />AnetteAnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426870411414656093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202357334265892672.post-3183343797753164432012-06-28T05:25:58.496+09:002012-06-28T05:25:58.496+09:00Hi Annette,

I just wanted to reach out and say that I'm sorry to hear that your first hosting experience went so poorly! Thank you for leaving a negative reference, that was the right thing to do and hopefully it will prevent other people from having similar experiences.<br /><br />I do hope you consider participating in the community again. Maybe if you attend an activity in your city you can meet some CouchSurfers who are more considerate -- most of us are!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Meredith Hutcheson<br />CouchSurfing Member CommunicationsMeredith Hutchesonhttp://www.couchsurfing.org/people/imperfectlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202357334265892672.post-8106410378701301932012-06-18T12:59:49.899+09:002012-06-18T12:59:49.899+09:00I did tell her that I felt she was taking advantag...I did tell her that I felt she was taking advantage of my hospitality, and that I wasn't comfortable by lending her my key. I've also given her a negative reference directly on CS, so it's not like I've only expressed myself through this blog. <br /><br />Of course one can discuss the ethics of writing negative things about others on a public web page like this, but it is not like I have reviled her identity or anything. Also, my main readers are friends and family who wants to keep themselves updated on my daily life, and I have no problem in seeing the relevance in writing about this experience for them to read.<br /><br />But thanks for the advice; I definitely agree that there is potential for improvement when it comes to clearly stating my case.Anettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426870411414656093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202357334265892672.post-71796350459826207252012-06-18T01:16:06.402+09:002012-06-18T01:16:06.402+09:00You really should learn to say things directly to ...You really should learn to say things directly to people rather than writing about them in a blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202357334265892672.post-4853269424495415452012-06-13T12:54:03.564+09:002012-06-13T12:54:03.564+09:00Yeah, I finally got rid of her Monday morning^^ ha...Yeah, I finally got rid of her Monday morning^^ haha..Anettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426870411414656093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202357334265892672.post-65006127769646645092012-06-12T13:28:18.062+09:002012-06-12T13:28:18.062+09:00I hope everything will work out.

I didn't feel too good about doing that though, but I felt she left me no choice.. It seems she hasn't noticed it yet, I'm wondering what she'll write me in return.. Oh well. It's hard to be too friendly and helpful with an unwanted guest, I wasn't exactly happy and talkative yesterday when she came back again..
