1) You don’t have to check your Inbox on couchsurfing.org. Instead, you select how often you receive email notifications for new messages. It can be set to Instant, Daily digest, Weekly digest or No communication.

I got familiar with the idea of couchsurfing via couchsurfing.org. Some people there (not many, actually) either don’t fill in their real names at all, or mention them in the middle of the profile (to filter out the unscrupulous freeloaders?) My profile is not very filled, maybe that’s why I hardly get any couchsurfing requests at all, but all the people that I surfed with were really nice. Anyway, you can set your status as “Couch not available” and not receive any requests at all.
