I am a 19 year old german who just graduated what is the american equivalent of high school. I spend most of my days at home sleeping until 1 pm and not doing shit unless i go out with friends or have to work my waiter job on weekends. I am going to the military in july and decided to kill the time traveling but i do not have that much money. I was planning on leaving after my mallorca vacation which is in 3 weeks ( ).

My cousins girlfriend suggested that I walk the Camino de Santiago and that I would not have to spend too much money if I were couchsurfing.

I just wanted to know if anyone could share some experiences with couchsurfing or even better experiences about their Camino de Santiago trip.

I've CouchSurfed and hosted more than enough time to understand how the game works. Both as a Cultural Exchange and as a was to meet people.
Looking at the CS website like a dating site I found that profiles with a lack of pictures, or that came of very boring were all associated with members that did not have much experience surfing.
Members with "interesting" profiles and vibrant attitudes are alway the more experienced members with enough references to write a college paper.

Youre in germany..so youve heard of http://www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de/

You should easily be able to get some transport to wherever..if you cant get a initial plane ride.

Make your profile now..
find CSers in your city or go to nearby place where they meet up.

itll be harder to find host without at least a decent profile and some sort of reference.

next..send request to as many people as possible.
There use to be a time when 2-3 request would get you a host.

now you might have to send a dozen or more request...but its better to have 2 host and cancel on one..than not have a host at all.

good luck
