各位版上的CS前輩們好,
雖然自己已有多次國外自助旅遊的經驗,也久仰CS旅遊之名,但實在無法卸下心防當沙發客
所以總是做好全盤旅遊計劃,安排好交通/住宿(九成是當地民宿),才敢前往。
最近剛提起勇氣加入CS會員,想說,既然不敢當沙發客,那就從沙發主當起吧!
(心裡OS~這是我熟悉的土地,不至於有意外才是!)
但是~我是一個人住(輕熟女一枚),說不怕,不擔心,那是騙人的!
又加上,我有在玩攝影,那些躺在防潮箱裡的相機、鏡頭及相關器材,少說也有五十萬,
實在有點擔心,我不在家的時候,會不會被一掃而空,欲哭無哭!
不知道是否有人可提供建議及方法,甚至是心裡建設等!?
也不知道是不是我對沙發衝浪有所誤解,
我一直以為,CS就是晚上提供沙發客一張沙發或打地舖住上一/兩晚,
順便做做文化交流,投緣的話,我會請你吃上一頓,有空的話,我會帶你出去玩,
而白天,我要上班/假日有事不在家時,沙發客應該也有自己的安排要出門,
所以,會一起出門,一起約時間到家。
言歸正傳~才加入CS不到十天的我,就有沙發客來信詢問是否可以入住?!
第一個是加拿大來的22歲在花蓮慈濟學中文的女生,說她對自然及登山有興趣,
希望能安排任何一個周末一同登山/爬山(非郊山)
只是,我的登山活動也都是參加登山社/登山旅行社,那是需要事先報名,也需要費用的,
還有體力及其個人裝備也是一大問題,沒了解前不敢冒然答應。
不知道她的想法是以為可以免費當個跟班,一起上山走走?!
還是,想藉由我先幫她報名繳費,來個免費的登山活動體驗?!
(報名費依不同登山活動有不同的收費,少說也是要好幾千元,
我想沙發主應該沒義務幫沙發客張羅這些東西吧!萬一她來個臨時無前往,那我找誰去討)
第二個提出CS要求的,在看完她自介時,真的讓我覺得有點可怕,(後面會附上其內容)
加上不久前有看到新聞說,一對好心夫婦在颱風天收留一名外國女子,
沒想到隔天起來家裡被弄得亂七八糟,趕也趕走,(呵呵~我在想,會不會是同一人)
她是一個美國來的42歲女士,在台灣教英文(我想應該是黑工),文中大意是說(如沒會錯意)
她來台灣快一年,但因為簽證快過期,加上現在她的用光了她的所有資源/財力,
所以在等美國大使館遣送她回去前,她一定得找個地方住。(聽起來好像露宿街很久)
我是在想,來台工作快一年了,難道沒有認識的朋友或工作上的伙伴可以先接濟她嗎?!
還有,來台教英文,很好賺?!怎麼會弄到錢都沒了?!還要等著坐免費飛機被遣送回國!?
這是我目前收到的,但因為還在考慮,所以都還沒回覆,想聽聽版上CS前輩們的建議,謝謝!
我並不是不願意提供住宿(在我的認知下提供住宿甚至陪玩-前面有提到),
我也很樂意交流,分享,尤其是對那些初到此地,人生地不熟,只能短暫停留的旅客提供協助,
讓他們感受到台灣人的熱情,溫暖,讓他們一輩子都能回想起在台灣美麗又短暫的懈逅。
只是我不能理解的是,上述兩位沙發客,似乎都已在台灣待了好些時日,
對台灣人,事,物,應該都有一定的了解與認識,也結交了不少台灣朋友,
甚至是朋友的朋友,我想,這些原本就在他們身旁的朋友,就是最好的資源了,
怎麼還會來找CS上的沙發主呢?!
還是,我對沙發衝浪的根本定義就是個誤解?!盼糾正之,謝謝!

About Me
Hi ***, I am a native English teacher now living in Taipei.
My name is Kathryn.
I've been here for nearly one year, and I am finding it hard to secure full time work with an ARC (Alien Card).
I have an ARC which expires October 18. At that point, I must either leave the country, for good, or either find a new buxiban who will sponsor my ARC.
At this point, I have run out of resources before I leave the country.
I have been hosted by other families and individuals, before, and am willing to do small things for you to make your life more convenient for you and your roommates while I am in your home, if you and they choose to host me.
I am currently located in Zhongxiao Dunhwa area.
I must move into a home while I wait for the American Institute in Taipei (the American Embassy) to fly me back home (I am hopeful).
Why I'd Like to Meet You
I'd like to share stories with you about teaching. I am currently finishing up an online TESOL course, if I can do this while I am figuring out my plans to return to the USA.
I am interested in scuba diving, although I am not certified, at the moment.
Maybe we can meet this weekend, if you are interested.
My mobile number is ********* if you would like to host me, I am most grateful.
I have never had to repatriate on this plan, in my life.
I am a bit exhausted.
Thanks again,
KATHRYN
