Lately there has been a lot of press coverage for couchsurfing and somehow people find it interesting to interview me about this

I have been in the dutch radio show “Met het oog op morgen” (download the soundfile here, the interview (in dutch!) starts around 20:00), did interviews by e-mail for “Metro” (big free dutch newspaper) and “Estado de Minas” (biggest newspaper in Minas gerais) and have an interview coming with “De wereldomroep“.

Couchsurfing has also been in the news without me My friend Paul from Rotterdam has been in an article about couchsurfing in “De telegraaf” (big dutch newspaper). There has also been a big and very good article on couchsurfing on globo.com Use Google Translate if you don’t know any Portuguese
